>From ILounge: Apple pulls over-the-air iOS 10.3 update for iPhone 5, 5c; iOS 10.3.2 seems to end support for them
Apple has pulled back the over-the-air update to iOS 10.3 for iPhone 5 and 5c devices without giving any reason, AppleInsider reports. The update was available for a few hours before mysteriously disappearing, despite there being no noted outcry of users who had tried and failed to install the update on the devices. The update can still be installed through the standard process using iTunes, and seems to function fine on an iPhone 5c. In a related development, The Apple Post has discovered that the beta version of iOS 10.3.2 appears to end support for devices with 32-bit processors — like the iPhone 5 and 5c. The beta only contains restore images for 64-bit devices, hinting at the possibility that 32-bit devices are about to lose support. Apple announced back in 2014 that new apps or app updates would have to support 64-bit processors, and recent speculation has swirled around iOS 11 ending support for 32-bit devices. A warning dialog discovered by developers working with the iOS 10.3 beta stated that apps that have not been updated to include 64-bit support “will not work with future versions of iOS.” Given the new findings in the iOS 10.3.2 beta, the change could come sooner than expected. If so, the 4th generation iPad would also be unsupported as it features a 32-bit processor. http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/mobile/news/apple-pulls-over-the-air-ios-10.3-update-for-iphone-5-5c-ios-10.3.2-seems-t From: Jeffrey Turner Sent: Friday, March 31, 2017 11:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Is IOS 10.3 available for iPhone 5? Hi Sieghard, I thought I had read that the 5 was supported, so was puzzled when it did not show up under software updates on my clients’ phones. We were going through the recommended process of backing up their phones, emptying the ap switcher,, turning off their phones for 30 seconds, and then updating, but both their phones insisted their software was up to date, even though they only have version 10.2.1. Oh, and yes, they were both plugged into live power and connected to WI/FI at the time. I know sometimes Apple rolls things out geographically, and they are in Georgia while I am in Arizona, but I thought by now the whole U.S. would be covered. They may be able to stop att an Apple Store on Sunday, so perhaps they will have an anser for us. I’m glad you have written proof from the Apple website that the 5 is supported. Maybe they won’t think I’m totally bonkers.

Hi Jeffrey, I am not sure why your clients don’t see the update, the iPhone 5 is definitely still capable of running iOS 10, only the iPhone 4S and older devices are no longer compatible with iOS 10. Can you let us know if they have iOS 10 and don’t see the update to 10.3 or do you mean they are still on iOS 9 and don’t see an option to update to iOS 10? Make sure they indeed have an iPhone 5 because support for the 4S definitely stopped with iOS 9. They should probably make a backup, close all apps and then reboot the phone and try again, also make sure they are connected to Wifi. Feliciano, if you don’t believe me that the iPhone 5 can have iOS 10, here is a list of supported devices copied directly from Apple’s website: iOS 10 is compatible with these devices. iPhone iPhone7/7 Plus iPhone 6s/6s Plus iPhone 6/6 Plus iPhone SE iPhone 5s iPhone 5c iPhone 5 iPad iPad Pro 12.9-inch iPad Pro 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 iPad Air iPad 4th generation iPad mini 4 iPad mini 3 iPad mini 2 iPod iPod touch 6th generation Best regards, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Feliciano Godoy Sent: Friday, March 31, 2017 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Is IOS 10.3 available for iPhone 5?
