My iPod 7th Gen Update

A 7th generation iPod Touch should be on iOS 13, or later, by now. Perhaps you have a 6th generation iPod touch, which is not capable of using iOS 13 or later.

On your iPod, if you go into Settings/General/About, what does it say under Model Name? You may not be able to see all of the text, but on my iPod it says iPod touch (6th ge...

Ah! Just seen your post about Audible.

I never understand this:

• • an app developer rushes to make their app work only with the latest version of iOS
  • anyone without access to that latest version (such as those who cannot afford to buy a replacement iPod at the drop of a hat) can no longer use their app
  • developer loses customers
  • Duh!

It's not as if they can claim it's a security issue; as I mentioned previously iOS 12.5.5 and many of it's predecessors served only as security updates.

Okay, that's sorted then.

FYI, the 6th generation iPod Touch simply isn't powerful enough to run iOS13 or later. Apple have made it clear that the 6th gen Touch will never be able to update to iOS 13. That said, that model still receives updates, in the 12.x.x range; iOS 12.5.5 was released only three days ago. It will have been a security update. There have been no recent feature updates for it, nor are there are unlikely to be any in the future.

"Slightly miffed" email to the developer perhaps?

Or stronger...

I will be very interested to hear the outcome of that work. Let us know.
