You can always try and look for an older used iPhone or iPod Touch, one which still has an older version of iOS on it. Of course if you happen to catch the Instant Pot WiFi on a good sale it may not cost more than something like that.

Then, my IPhone developed a problem. I cannot reply to text messages that are sent to me. When I called Apple, the only thing the tech expert could suggest was updating my phone to the next upgrade (14.5). Reluctantly, that's what I did. Now I cannot use my Instant Pot, nor is the messages problem fixed... It is not a good week! Penny On 5/20/21, Caitlyn Furness <caitlyn.furn...@gmail.com> wrote: > I use my IP several times a week.
