So, what do you do when youve hit the upgrade ceiling?
If your devicecant handlethe latest version of iOS, macOS or watchOS, is it time to say goodbye?
Thats everything that can runiOS 13.
If your iPad can run iPadOS 13, it can run iPadOS 14.
My gear cant upgrade to a new OS.
What should I do?
Generally speaking, I wouldnt worry about it just yet.
Most people wont even be able to play with all the new OS updates until this fall.
Of course, this presumes that yourethinkingabout upgrading.
That means youll also benefit from newer features, potential performance improvements and all the latest security updates.
Even if you dont care that much about widgets, having a secure, protected smartphone is important.
Youll be spending extra money on a souped-up system that will be overkill for your needs.
I wouldnt chase macOS Big Sur if youre a light Mac user.
Whats a few more months?
(I cant imagine what your battery life must be like right now.)
I wouldnt do any shopping just yet, because Apple is undoubtedly going to drop a new watch soon.
Were reaching a point where failing batteriesnot a devices performanceis the main reason to upgrade anything.
