5C on 10.3

[Ledsteplin]

Now I read that 10.3.1 MIGHT be available for the 5C but perhaps they only mean through iTunes and not OTA.

It was already available through iTunes. Just not OTA.

That's too bad, really. There's no problem with my 32-bit iPhone 5 aside from a lack of memory, which I feel occasionally when I have to reload tabs or wait for iMovie to recall where I was at. But aside from that it's an impressively serviceable phone. Maybe dropping support now is a good thing -- we get the security updates, and the experience at the end of its support is light years better than iPhones 4 and 4s.

My 5 is Alive and well. Just needs a new battery. It's just for back up. I'm more concerned with Apple making 32 bit apps useless on iOS 11. I have a few I can't find suitable replacements for.

I find it really hard to believe that Apple is going to break every 32-bit app ever. Transitions like this are typically invisible to the end user, and breaking apps is not invisible. Besides, the only examples I've seen of apps that iOS claims will stop working still have black borders on the top and bottom because they were created pre-2012, pre-iPhone 5. Feel free to prove me wrong though, I've been taking a wait-and-see approach to this news rather than actively researching it.

Yeah I wonder what will actually happen, I mean will the apps just start freezing and crashing or they just going to be disappeared one day off peoples phones.

Sidenote, I guess the 10.3.1 update is available for the 5C now because my buddy sees it on his Telus phone. That will probably be the last update for the 5C I believe so basically by getting an iPhone 7 I'm prepared now for the future, I think security updates are important. But I guess I could've held on a little longer with the 5C if I have to.
