In apples case, yes. You might very well be able to install the latest iOS on your 2010 iPad, but why bother? It's going to be so slow that you'll want to throw it out the window. Do t want to update? Good luck reinstalling your applications after a wipe because they all require the latest iOS api version and you can't install previous versions.
Let's not pretend that Apple's business model isn't built on people throwing out all their idevices every few years and rebuying everything altogether whenever Apple dictates that the old connector isn't good for you anymore or that micro USB is for losers.
