Outside the geek community, not all people regularly change their gadgets to newer models. Clients,
ready to use the same thing for several yearsdevices are a headache for companies. Manufacturers often try to force them to make a purchase by using so-called planned obsolescence practices. Apple is especially famous for this, either slowing down older iPhones or disabling application updates for older devices. The latest example of this approach was the recent AirPods 3 TWS headphones, which do not support the iPhone 6, iPad mini 3, iPod Touch 6 and earlier models. And, according to network sources, something similar awaits us in the case of AirPods Pro 2, expected this fall.
It is reported that the device will support“iPhone 11 and later, some iPads and Mac”. Presumably, the limitation will be associated (or explained) by the Apple U1 chip, introduced into Apple smartphones starting with the iPhone 11. This means that devices without it will not support the new flagship TWS headphones AirPods Pro 2.
