Can't install Airbnb on iPad

J_B

Mrs B has an iPad Air 2 running IOS 15.8.3

Although she can get the AirBnB app on her iPhone, when she tries to open it on her iPad it says "This requires a newer version of iPadOS"

But we updated it as much as we could (?) yesterday!

The app requires iPadOS 16 or later, the iPad Air 2 cannot be updated beyond iPadOS 15.x.x. Therefore you cannot install it unless you replace it with a more recent iPad that does support iPadOS 16 and beyond.

More aPple planned obsolescence! 🤬

Not really, the app developer made the decision to only support later OS versions, not Apple.

Shame really - you would have thought that the might of Airbnb might have been more flexible.

Hey Ho.

Hardly, the iPad Air 2 is from October 2014 and had its last update (iOS 15.8.3) at the end of July this year just a couple of weeks ago. 

Thats anything but planned obsolescence!
