Why sent to the bin? The devices still work. I recently used my series 3 for a couple of weeks and it worked surprisingly well.

Application developers generally don’t support outdated or unsupported OS versions. It’s only a matter of time before updates stop being released or apps start to break.

Am super salty about them killing support for the original Apple Watch Ultra. I, along with many others, bought it on launch day as both an Apple tragic / early adopter and to support what I thought was going to be an exciting new platform.

Instead we barely got a new feature over the 4 years since it launched, and now its been killed (from a software support pov) way ahead of schedule of the vast majority of other Apple devices.

For shame.

I thought it was understood that Apple gives hardware 5 years.

If the watch still works with the current OS on it, what's the issue?

Apps won't work anymore.

Yeah, this was really disappointing to see.
