yeah kinda a bummer, I was only able to figure this out once I reached out to their support to ask.

At the time they told me their would be no support for older hardware and that version of the Square terminal app, *which from a technical support perspective makes sense I guess.*

This is why you will see South Texas and Latin America create their own versions of a Bitcoin POS, because of this very problem, not exclusive to square or apple.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense, including why the owner said they didn't "get the update."  Which I did feel like was a better and more precise response than Siggy's experience with 

Still, a bit disappointing that the bitcoin upgrade requires newer hardware.  Wouldn't have thought it, since it just has to generate a LN QR code, which doesn't seem like a big task.
