Here's your warning, Apple device users... this is an Apple requirement, not a Sonos one... starting in July, any app updates will require iOS 11. So if you have a device that isn't running it, the time to update to iOS 11 is coming soon. And if your device can't run iOS 11, be prepared to not be able to update to the latest version of the app starting in July.

    Good list of devices, Chris... the latest (6th-gen) iPad that was updated earlier this year should also be on there though. 🙂

    This is going to go down a storm with all those using old iPhone4S+, iTouch5+, iPad2+ as Sonos controllers. I wonder if as much invective will be hurled at Apple as was generated over the CR100 demise....

    I wonder if the small group of users who vehemently defended Sonos bricking the cr100 and hurled invective at the owners who were affected..... also defend Apple?

    you must be confusing vehemently defending with not agreeing that end of lifting a nearly decade old remote (that has been replaced by free software) is the same as losing an appendage.

    Apple does what it does. We have no control over that. Apple requiring updated equipment and Sonos not being able to support much older equipments. It’s no different. The point was always these thing happen as technology advances and Sonos having to drop cr100 support is the same thing other companies do everyday (but many try to say otherwise)

    The next time Apple retires a 13 year old single use device that hasn't been sold in almost a decade, I will agree with them that its time has come. But don't let that stop you from your shtick, Logan.
