    Compare this to Apple, e.g. an iPad from 2013:
    * ships iOS 7,
    * runs new major iOS 12 from 2018,
    * support updates to 2023.

    a MacBook or iMac from 2010:
    * runs new major macOS release from 2016,
    * with support updates to 2019.

    That's 5 new major releases you'll see, and 10 years of long-term support, e.g. a new TLS root cert for Let's Encrypt.

    CW: Old closed hardware, second life, webdav

    I am trying to offer a 2010 ipad a second life with PHP and webdav / nextcloud. Not an easy task as I feel like a golden retriever looking at his reflection in front of a webdav API documentation.
    It is impossible to install new apps on the old iOS, almost impossible to use the https web, the built-in web browser with insecure http is the last door remaining open of a very closed hard and software. My goal is to create a very basic access to nextcloud files so I can make it a media center. Any experience, help welcome.
