What do you suggest For those 32 bit apps...?

For those 32 bit apps, what did you guys do about them?

The trouble is, there are a couple are things I'd like to keep, but there is no way to know if the devs for them will update them again or not.

I have iPhone X on latest OS version, with all these 32 bit apps sitting inside my folders, so am wondering if it's finally best to simply delete all/most of them?

How have you dealt with these?

I binned them. The developers had plenty of warning long before iOS 11 so if they haven't updated them by now they probably never will.

Deleted the five I had.

Option: keep your old device and treat like an iPod. Pull the sim card.

32 bit apps have been abandoned by the devs. Time to move on.

iOS and Xcode have supported 64-bit since 2013.

If a developer hasn't bothered to load Xcode to recompile their program in over 4 years, it's probably safe bet that they will never update it again.

There are a few extreme cases of sudden support, though. Infinity Blade received an update after 5 years.

JBL finally updated their app for the Authentics speaker line. So there's still some hope. Drop them in a "Forgotten apps" folder and hope you're someday pleasantly surprised by an update.

TBH, it was a good excuse to clear them all out, along with another load of crap.
...still some more to consider tomorrow.

450+ down to around half, with many of these so called "apps" doing the most pointlessly tiny things, back from the iPhone 3G days and beyond. Haha!

Did exactly this yesterday with the remaining few I had, also assuming that the devs had abandoned them.

Deleted them and found something else. Not the end of the world. It's part of the evolutionary process.
