The ability to access video streaming services on older devices, such as the iPad 2 running iOS 9.3.5, presents a specific challenge. Typically, the officially supported application may no longer be compatible due to software updates and evolving system requirements. Users may need to explore alternative methods to view content on these legacy devices.
Maintaining access to online video platforms on older hardware allows users to continue utilizing their devices for entertainment and informational purposes. Historically, developers created workarounds to bridge compatibility gaps, extending the lifespan of the hardware. This also reduces electronic waste by enabling continued use of older, but still functional, technology.
