Apple will permanently disable outdated apps for iOS 11
It's nothing new. Apple is taking the quality of its apps very seriously. Just a few months ago, we told you that the Cupertino company had struck down a whopping 50,000 applications from the App Store that did not adapt to its new requirements proposed by the signature. You have now warned that applications that have not been updated according to the company's instructions, will stop working on board iOS 11, which is the new version that Apple will release to users for its flagship operating system.Since the year 2013, with the introduction of the iPhone 5, the operating system ofApple has supported 64-bit applications In fact, since the advent of iOS 9, every time a user opens a 32-bit app on a recent iPhone, they get a prompt telling them to that the app may slow down your device and should be updated by the developer to improve its compatibility.
The fact is that with the presentation of the iOS 10.3 beta (a version that is currently only available to developers), the company has modified the notice and now, instead of showing that warning, the following is indicated: “This application should be updated. The app will not work with future versions of iOS.The developer of this application should update it to improve its compatibility» This makes us think that, although the version has not been specified, iOS 11Could be the first edition of this platform that does not support 32-bit apps iOS 11 is likely to be unveiled at Annual Apple Developers Conference taking place this summer and starting with the launch of the iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plusor iPhone 8, if applicable, starting in September.
Actually we are not facing a very serious inconvenience. Apple has been asking developers to update their apps to the famous 64-bit since February 2015, so this should only affect apps that have become outdated and that they have not been updated for years. It is, however, a forceful measure that is not usual in most software manufacturers, but for which on this occasion, Apple has become a standard bearer
Most likely it is that these outdated applications suffer the same fate as those that at the end of last year were struck down by Apple from your store. A report published by Sensor Tower revealed in the last months of 2016 that Apple had increased the number of applications removed by up to 238% of the App Store The one from Cupertino would be carrying out a forceful purge to leave no room for all those applications that remain anchored to the past and that have not received any support from their own managers. Thus, if normally 14,000 monthly applications were eliminated, the figure for October exceeded an average of 47,000
