Solve an obsolete hardware and/or OS problem

This guide addresses problems that may arise when using Infomaniak applications (such as kChat, kDrive, kAuth, etc.) or tools (such as config.infomaniak.com, on Manager Infomaniak, etc.) with old / not up to date / obsolete hardware (OS, browser, devices, etc.). For example, it will not be possible to comfortably access Infomaniak services with an iPhone 5s or 6 on iOS 12.
 

Technologies employed by Infomaniak

Many Web tools developed by Infomaniak use Angular The need for up-to-date or recent hardware to run applications is not specific to Angular itself but rather a general requirement for the execution of any modern web application. Here are some reasons why up-to-date equipment is often needed:

1. Angular uses advanced features of modern browsers to provide an optimal user experience; older browsers may not support or optimally support these features, which can lead to compatibility and performance issues.
2. Newer browsers are generally optimized to run JavaScript code faster and to manage complex graphical renderings more efficiently; Angular applications can be quite complex and take advantage of these optimizations to provide a better user experience.
3. Older browsers may have known security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers to compromise the security of the web application; more recent versions of browsers tend to address these vulnerabilities and offer a higher level of security.
4. The latest versions of browsers are generally in line with the latest web standards, which means that they are more compatible with new technologies and latest HTML, CSS and JavaScript specifications used by frameworks such as Angular; using an obsolete browser may lead to problems with rendering or missing functionality.
5. Newer browsers support modern APIs that allow developers to access advanced features such as geolocation, camera, push notifications, etc.; Angular applications can integrate these features to offer richer and more interactive user experiences, but these features depend on browser support.
