Version 16

My iPhone 6s, as you know, cannot run version 16. Therefore the majority of my apps cannot run. Clever way to sell more phones.
It is time to leave apple for me though I have only used Apple since leaving the flip phone. Best wishes. John

It has been Apple strategy since the days of Steve Jobs to obsolete its hardware.

Many older Mac users have experienced this several times. In some cases it is coupled with a need to pay for upgardes of existing software to run on their new purchases.

The more things change ...

Hey @jlbeng 

If you're working on an outdated device that no longer supports current versions of the eBay app, you should be able to access eBay through a web browser on your phone/tablet.

If you're on iOS 15, follow eBay's instructions from this post:

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Mobile-Apps/App-will-not-update/m-p/34718836#M49148

If your device has iOS 15 you should still be able to get a version of the app that will run on your device

1. Delete your eBay app
2. Go to the App Store, search for eBay
3. When you download it you will see this alert, tapping download should allow you to get a version that will run on your device.

In fairness, the last iOS update to the iPhone 6 was five years ago.  That's eons in tech terms.

I've used three different phone platforms:  Windows Phone, Android, and now iOS.  While not perfect, Windows Phone showed a lot of promise and I still think it was the best of the bunch.  It's disappointing that it didn't get more traction.  I think if you switch to Android, you're going to find the experience frustrating.
