This is what I found, buried in the link.
“The bug affected iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later, and iPod touch 6th generation and later.”
So I reckon his is okay, which is good, since he’s still pissed off about the iOS 6 update which ‘messed up’ his phone and I don’t want to have to argue him into updating it ever again.
My crappy old iPad 2 is not on the list, either, I see.
Yeah, I've got an old iPad 2 also. Quite a nice instrument in its day, cell radio, 32GB... I have used it extensively and pretty much daily since I got it in late 2011. It doesn't owe me anything at this point; it has served well.
OTOH, it has gotten noticeably slower, and I don't think it's just that I've gotten used to the faster speed of my iPhone 5c. It seems like it takes -much- longer to switch apps and bring up web pages (even FR's simple text), and there are more and more sites that cause Safari to lock up or show the dreaded "There was an error with the page and it is being reloaded". Granted, most of the other apps are still okay.
So I'm not ready to replace it -- it still works well enough for late-night FReeping, email, and the occasional round of Angry Birds. :-)
