there's a huge difference between supporting the version that they sold you for a specific version of ios and writing a new version to work with future changes to ios (which they don't in any way control)

Not really. As an iOS user I am forced to update the os for software to be supported and receive new security updates. That Apple makes previous versions of my installed software incompatible when I do upgrade should not be my problem. (That said, I agree there is a problem here, and I think Apple should ultimately be the one who fixes it)

  No, they shouldn't, they should throw away legacy code as they've been doing ever since.
