In practice Apple forces the developers to use only new APIs(available on new OS) while the device is not supporting new OS updates. Submissions with the old APIs are no longer accepted so tell me, isn't that planned obosolence? Basically I as a developer and owner of the device cannot update my own app, on my old device anymore because the OS does not support the new APIs and Apple does not allow me to submit updates with the old APIs or to upgrade the OS. Your only choice is to not use Apple APIs that are changed often. In practice you can do that only on certain games or niche apps. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=03042020b https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=03042020b >> Starting April 30, 2020, all iPhone apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12232019b https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12232019b
