They never did. iMessage still works fine on iOS 5 and up.When did they cut off iMessage?
I have various older iOS devices running variants of their launch iOS versions, but one device, an iPod Touch 5 running on iOS 6.1.3, still sees use as a music player every day. The battery lasts surprisingly long because of that, even though the iPod is quickly approaching 6 years of age.
What about you? Are you still holding on to iOS 6? What is your main reason for sticking with it in 2018?

Im using my old Ipad2 to reply to your post
The reason for keeping the old ios ??
Sinple... it works fine ,, right up untill something gets updated...
and YES the battery lasts exceptionally long.. average 8-10 hours under average usage...
I thought a bit ahead and downloaded all the apps I wanted (that diddnt need a constant Internet connection)
,,knowing that they would become non exsistant after so long...
Have no intents of goofing up a wonderfull OLD ipad .
When ios 6 is denied access from the web ( ..???) I'll still have 32 gigs of games and apps/programs.

Very similar here as well. It's sad to see how bad the iPod touch has aged. Long gone are the days when this device was absolutely amazing in every sense.I only have one iOS 6 device left that I use daily. Its my iOS 6.1.6 iPod Touch 4th gen (thats on its last leg because a myrid of issues including a crooked housing, a bleeding LCD screen, a "unresponsive" home button and, a shot battery) I also still have my old iPhone 4S still on iOS 6.1.3 however, I retired it a few years ago to play around with Android.
I'm trying to keep this device running as long as possible. I've always preferred the old iOS 6 UI (to the point where back when I had a iOS 7 iPad I installed iOS 6 era shortcuts on it) and, even went out of my way back in 2013 when my first iPod Touch 4th gen was declared totaled to use the credit to go buy another 4th gen because it maxes out on iOS 6. However, starting this year, living with my iPod has become a lot tougher. Apps all of a sudden don't function anymore (Youtube just quit working on me today), I'm getting crashes all the time and worst of all, my homebutton has randomly stopped registering inputs. The accessibility home button is causing even more crashes when I have it on screen.
When I do have to retire this device, I'm probably going to keep my archaic iPod as the stable device while I go out and jailbreak the newer one. I'll get around to repairing most of the problems one day, but, for now, I'm seriously considering buying a new device and keeping the old one for another day.

I believe that is a 3GS specific issue. My iPhone 4S still gets up to date map data and grabs directions and navigation with iOS 6 buttery smoothness all the time.Hello everyone,
I've got an iPhone 3GS since many years ago as my everyday phone. iOS 6.1.6 jailbroken. I'm very happy with it, don't need more but loosing apps support one by one. Nevermind while I can still make calls and use some apps.
I write here to ask if anyone is having problems with GPS location. Since maybe 10 days it is not working for me, in any app (weather, maps, etc). No icon showing in top right. Haven't touch anything. Have reset network settings, play with 3G and wifi settings, etc. Nothing fix it.
I have another 3GS for backup and spare parts which is behaving the same...so I don't think is a hardware problem (GPS antenna, dirty inside, etc.)...so I think maybe Apple has stopped giving GPS support in anyway (if it is possible by them). Anyone suffering the same?
Thank you and best regards from Spain

There was a GPS date rollover on April 6th. I heard it would probably affect devices prior to roughly 2011-2012, which seems to be the case as GPS no longer functions on my iPhone 4. Here's a great explanation from DHS if you're curious:Hello everyone,
