Unless and until it gets full MacOS, my iPad Pro will never be anything other than a consumption device. It's great for playing games and watching videos, but it's objectively terrible for trying to get any real work done. 

His first order of business? Make the campus thinner.

The food is tasty, the customer service is excellent, and the company is a great corporate citizen. I go out of my way to eat there if I'm ever in an area that has one.

Netflix still works flawlessly on my 2nd Gen. There's no reason to shut it down, even if they don't support it anymore. "Use at your own risk" is always a better option than "no soup for you".
I have newer AppleTVs, but, with one attached to every TV in the house, I'm only every going to upgrade the older ones when they die. Even if the only function left is AirPlay, that'll still allow it to do pretty much everything a new one can when I'm running it off my iPad.

I stridently disagree with the assessment that this is not a design flaw with the Mac Mini, because it clearly is. If you use your new Mac in the exact way you did your previous one  (including placement) and the functionality is reduced, the thing that has changed is to blame. The antenna is not the only design flaw either. The placement of the power button is as well.

Soon the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil will evolve to a level where artists do not have to export to a desktop and use a Wacom device.

Better yet, just make a model of Macbook that has this functionality built-in, and then you could do everything on one device. A stylus turns a Mac into a very powerful art creation device, but you really should not have to buy a separate device to do this, and you should have have to own and carry around so many devices.

That's not the point. This is about people who want to keep older versions running on devices that support newer software.

That's me for the most part. I like to stay at least one (or more) versions behind current on both my iPhone and my Macs. Apple has an increasing habit of taking features away that I like, so once i have a system running the way I want it, I'm very hesitant to trust Apple when a new version comes out. It's been quite a while since I've done an upgrade where I did not feel that it was a negative experience, so I want to stick with what I like.

Meh, let ‘em jaibreak. With the Trident malware package apparently out there since iOS 7 they deserve what they get.

Have you ever noticed when reading reviews for apps, a lot of the complaints are from neanderthals running old versions of iOS on their devices (because of a jailbreak no doubt)?

Funny, most of those apps work well for me, but then again, I have the latest OS version. I think that the last time I updated was a couple of days ago.

Just update your OS, you dummies.

No. I've never jailbroken, and it's the updating that is the thing that usually causes the problems. Phone worked perfectly well until I blindly trusted Apple and just installed their update when prompted. Then, with few exceptions, something I really liked no longer works properly. The only way to be safe and make sure that an Apple device really works properly is to try to stay one or two versions behind current.
