Since my iPad just became obsolete, could this become a security problem for me with 1Password?

Hello @jazzman! 👋

1Password for iOS currently requires iOS 16.4 or later: System requirements for 1Password

I always recommend running the latest version of iOS/iPadOS so that you can take advantage of the latest feature and updates. That being said, Apple does support several versions of their operating systems concurrently. For example, they just released an update for iOS 17 last week: About the security content of iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2 - Apple Support

As long as your iPad still receives security updates you'll be able to use it safely. For more authoritative advice on how to keep your iPad secure, I recommend reaching out to Apple Support.

I hope that helps. 🙂

Hi @1P_Dave!

Thank you. My iPad 6 is now at iOS 17.7.2. I'm just concerned about security. So far I haven't seen much value for me in Apple Intelligence. I don't need AI to write or interpret anything for me. How about you?

@jazzman

Thanks for the reply. iOS 17 is still receiving security updates from Apple.

So far I haven't seen much value for me in Apple Intelligence. I don't need AI to write or interpret anything for me. How about you?

None of my current Apple devices support Apple Intelligence and I'm not sure which feature I'd personally find useful (emoji generation sounds fun!) but I'm looking forward to trying it in the future. 🙂

Hey, Dave. Let me know when you decide to buy a new iPad that supports iOS 18. I figure I'll buy one about the same time you do. My iPad 6 is at iOS 17.7.3. I just want to keep things secure. Thanks.

@jazzman

I was mistaken in my post above. I do have an M1 iPad Air which does seem to be able to support Apple Intelligence. However I haven't yet played around with the new feature yet.

Regarding the security of using iPadOS 17, I would recommend reaching out to Apple for their thoughts. Apple has continued to release security updates for iPadOS 17 as of December 11th, 2024: About the security content of iPadOS 17.7.3 - Apple Support (CA)
