I'll be honest. It's true that it makes Android look a bit bad, at least the ecosystem. But this only matter in the iOS world, where the the whole park always move to the latest version, and you're required to get the latest version. Because on android, you can still download apps from the PlayStore for an Android KitKat. On iOS, if you're 2 versions behind, your device is getting pointless.
- guessbest 6y agoThe App Store still supports older iOS builds.
- OldHand2018 6y agoI have a first generation iPad and the App Store will still allow me to download compatible apps. The Kindle app still allows me to download purchased books.
- vladvasiliu 6y agoI think the problem with those devices is more that security updates for the OS itself aren't released anymore, not that new apps don't work. My mom doesn't have a lot of apps installed on her phone, just something like maps, the local transit provider app and whatsapp. She sometimes browses the web. I actually installed LineageOS on her phone a while ago, but I think even that isn't updated anymore (for her particular model).
- scarface74 6y agoApple has supported downloading the “last compatible version” for years. I wiped a first generation iPad and as of last year, I could reload Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Google Drive, and a few other apps still worked. It last saw an update in 2012.
