The latest Sonos update now rejects controller below iOS 10.
Apparently it is not possible anymore to just command a Sonos system with an iPod5 that is up to date with iOS 9.3.5 and can't go above. You have to buy a new iPoD.
I use the iPoD 5 just to start / stop playing music in different rooms and setup the wake-up. The music is either on a MAC or from TuneIn radios. I do not intend to use any voice command function.
Why would it be possible for Sonos to still leave a "basic" version of the controller that could run on iPods 5 below iOS10 to just perform the basic functions?
Not everybody wants the new features, but just don't want to have to throw away existing and perfectly working iPods 5 only used to control the home Sonos system. This is a waste of perfectly working products.
Could Sonos reconsider its position and offer a "basic" controller app for iPods that have to stay with iOS 9.x.x ? Thanks, this would save the planet from additional waste that still could perform the basic functions most users requires for many years.
Thanks in advance

Bought the new iPod and now iOS is up-to-date but it wont let you access iTunes library. Have to have air play speakers that I don't. Now what?
$5.99 price tag.
Do not bother with SONOS. Download the SonoPad app from the App store. Problem solved.
