There is, once your phone can’t support the latest version of iOS, you are de facto on the LTS version where Apple will provide security patches as needed for years. iOS 12 just got a security patch for the iPhone 5s (circa 2013) last month.
How does it benefit consumers, developers, or Apple to support older OS’s on phones that can support the newest version?
- adolph 4y agoIf value of new features is less than lost value in regression then a change doesn’t benefit consumers. For example, I wish that they didn’t support OG SE on 15 since there were goose-egg OS level improvements and giant regression in battery with 15.6.
