YouTube is saying good-bye to its past and many aging tablets, smartphones, and set-top boxes are going to be caught in the cross-fire. If you've got a first generation iPad, anything older than an iPhone 4, or a second-generation Apple TV or older, your device's built-in YouTube app will stop working soon.
Google announced late Monday that version 2 of YouTube's data application programming interface (API) would stop working on Monday, April 20. Many older YouTube apps—including the one that was built-in to iOS until version 6—will stop working. Other affected devices include select smart TVs and Blu-ray disc players, older game consoles, and anyone running Google TV version 2 or older. Anyone with Google TV version 3 or 4 can just upgrade their YouTube app in Google Play.
