The OP said that Apple doesn't have to support older devices because they are antiquated as far as performance goes. So I gave an example where software was supported for far longer during bigger increases in performance. You are saying that as long as the OEM updates drivers for components support is possible. I agree. This is a reason why Android is often not updated even in the modding community (Qualcomm is not releasing drivers). If only Apple was responsible for both the software and hardware... Oh wait...
