Apple Tells Some To Update Devices In Order To Stay Online
Apple has an important message for some.
If you have an old iPhone or older iPad you will need to update your operating system by this Sunday (Nov. 3, 2019). If you don't update it, you will NOT be able to get on the internet.
So, if you have a device from 2012 or earlier, get to updating if you wish to get online by next week.
According to CNN, "This is all because of the GPS time rollover issue, according to Apple, something that happens about every 19 years when GPS devices need to reset in order to accurately measure time and dates, according to the Office of Electricity at the Department of Energy."
In order to find out if you're up-to-date on your device(s) go into your settings app, then hit "General," and finally tap "About."
Good luck and stay connected.
