Hi I am just wondering what the roadmap is for shapr3d iOS16 support ? My understanding is that iPad Pro Gen1 cannot upgrade beyond iOS16. Thus my question is “is there a time coming when Shapr3d would require HIGHER than iOS16” ? And if yes, how far away are we from that happening ? Years ? Months ? Not sure ? Thanks! (PS until very recently I ran shapr3d on windows, but with windows 11 nonsense, I am using a gen1 iPad pro and am switching to using shapr3d on iPad and am wondering how long will I be ok using a device limited to iOS16 and not higher).
