Apple's approach is even simpler from a technical point of view. The oldest supported iPhone is the second generation of 64 bit processor. There were almost certainly problems with the first generation (of anything). The oldest supported Watch was the first with (a now mature) 64 bit processor. They made it mandatory for apps in the store to be 64 bit.
Android meanwhile supports 32 and 64 bit, multiple instruction sets, multiple (incompatible) SOCs etc. That is a lot more challenging.

There were almost certainly problems with the first generation (of anything) The iPhone with the oldest version of a 64 bit processor (the A7 used in the 2013 iPhone 5s) fell out of support after six years because it no longer had enough RAM for the new version of the OS.
