Sure, you could get an older model and spend less, but you'll just reach the point of having to buy a replacement sooner.īy the way, looking at those years above, keep in mind that there are Sonos devices out there, way older than 2011, that still work fine. If people ask me for advice on what to buy in electronics, I tell them to buy something newer and maybe even a little over-spec'ed, as it will last the longest possible amount of time. The iPad 4 runs iOS 10 and is, I think, the oldest iPad that will work with Sonos, but I would never buy one just for that purpose today, as it is just common sense that it will be the next to go. "Upgrading" to the next device that is about to be discontinued is just not a good idea. If you already replaced an iPad 1 by an iPad 2 because you were "forced to upgrade", there's a good chance that at the time the iPad 2 was already no longer the newest device out there. That is ages ago in the world of these devices. The iPad 2 was released in 2011, and discontinued in 2014. Unfortunately, it is just inherent in the current state of consumer electronics that devices will not be supported forever. I've said it in other threads on this subject already there is nothing to gain for Sonos by having peoples controller devices no longer work, it is just a choice that is at some point forced upon them. In Android, you can sideload older versions of apps, but without guarantees on functionality. It is Apple that deprecates devices by not providing OS support to older devices, while simultaneously requiring app developers to design for the latest versions, in time breaking backwards compatibility. It’s Apples policy as they do not allow multiple versions of the same app, good luck in finding a system that does not hit this issue.Īgreed. I'm just one unhappy angry disappointed customer. And I bet they will not react to any of what I writing here. I will not spend any more money on this company. It's just too bad but I'm going to change my system for something else. Just changing the policy because Apple does is just negligent, customers are of no interest. I'm still pretty pleased with the quality of the units and their sound but there are just too many irritating things about the software and the company. Try and get to the last number in your playlist. After the interface of Config changed it became less intuitive, navigating is just a bore. When I skip a song it just stops en the next one start without fade-out/fade-in. When the power goes down groups are not remembered. There's 1 playlist in my system that just doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to be able to delete it. The system is not stable, groups fall apart or players just disappear (and it's not my network that works flawless). One day they just changed the background color to white without an alternative to switch back. I hate the Sonos-team for just too many reasons too. I've got SonoPad but it just doesn't quite cut it. It's ridiculous, I know, but at least you can enjoy using your iPad's and you will be done with the frequent Sonos updates.
