Ondrej Holzman For owners of older computers, iPhones and iPads, Apple prepared a pleasant fact at yesterday's keynote at WWDC: not a single device has lost support since last year's versions of the operating systems. New OS X El Capitan so it will also run on computers from 2007 and iOS 9 for example on the first iPad mini.
In fact, OS X support for older computers has been stable for several years. If your computer has handled Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite so far, it can now handle version 10.11, which is called El Capitan. This is an almost kilometer high rock wall in Yosemite Valley, so the continuity with the previous version of OS X is obvious.
For example, AirDrop or Handoff will not work on some older models, and the oldest Macs will not take advantage of Metal, but support for computers up to eight years old is still very decent. For completeness, here's a list of computers that support OS X El Capitan:
- iMac (Mid 2007 and newer)
- MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 and newer)
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009 and later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 and later), (17-inch, Late 2007 and later)
- MacBook Air (late 2008 and later)
- Mac Mini (early 2009 and later)
- Mac Pro (early 2008 and later)
- Xserve (early 2009)
Even in iOS 9 against iOS 8, not a single device lost support, which is a positive change compared to previous years. Of course, not all iOS devices will have the latest features (for example, only the iPad Air 2 will be able to do Split screen multitasking), but this is often affected by the performance of the devices in question.
Below is the list of iOS devices that will be able to install iOS 9:
- iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, 6 and 6 Plus
- iPad 2, Retina iPad third and fourth generation, iPad Air, iPad Air 2
- All iPad mini models
- iPod touch 5th generation
Especially with iOS 9, however, the question is where it will work perfectly well. I'm still afraid to put iOS 4 on the iPhone 8S so that the phone can be used decently. Putting iOS 3 on my iPad 7 was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made :)
I agree, I recently put iOS2 on the iPad8 in a weak moment and I regret it so much. System hacking and application crashes are a daily occurrence for me.
I think a downgrade is also possible. however, it is necessary to download the iOS installation package from Apple's website and manually select it in iTunes for installation
Downgrade is not possible, or is only possible for a very short time after the release of a new iOS version.

that's right, I managed to go from 7 back to 6 and I'm on 4Sku on it to this day. I'm afraid of any transition higher, I see around me how they don't do it. at the same time, with the 6, it's absolutely perfect
I have IOS 4 on my 8sku. And it runs fine.
they claim that they will dig it up for 4s from the ground up and that I will gradually add other things in new updates, I think that in the future we will also get Siri in 4s :-)
I made the same mistake since then I can afford to upgrade. What I have suits me perfectly and I don't need any super modern things. In any case, put as little whores in there as possible :)

Interestingly. I don't have problems on older iPads.
it looks interesting, I just hope that it will run normally and that they will not paste and patch errors again and that I will really focus on the smoothness and stability of the system, I still have an old iPhone of the first generation with system 1.0 and it is already faster than my current 5s when it is turned on , it runs for me in 5 seconds compared to 15 seconds, and it doesn't stop even in other things like loading safari, open messages or loading maps, considering how fast it is an old phone, it's quite surprising, yes, it doesn't have an app store or iTunes, but at least it works, so somehow like this I imagine it also in newer devices, I'm not saying it's bad, but it could be better
If I had the balls, I'd pull out the Snow Leopard installation DVD that came with the iMac and reinstall Snow Leopard from scratch. I don't remember the rainbow wheel from that time. Any moment now. Spinned. Worse, even stopped.
I had the same problem on my mid 2012 pro. I tried everything, in the end after throwing out the drive and putting in an ssd disk, a complete clean installation worked. the first week the wheel was still running, now I haven't seen it for more than half a year, I'm properly restarting the computer.
Yes, 10.6.8 is the best Masox system Apple ever made!!! On the first G3 and G4 machines, the last Classic 9.2.2 was fine. Who remembers that :-)?
