Microsoft is not shipping mobile phone software! I fault them for breaking older apps, yes, but this is not always the case. I have an app that is 7 years old and it hasn't been updated for any phone since the iphone 7. I see the black bars when I open it. It's a drink making app that since got taken off the app store, but I'll never delete it because it was a one time purchase and got me access to the easiest explanations for making drinks I have ever seen in my entire life. And every drink is there. Apple has never, I repeat *never*, broken it for me. It still opens.
Your mileage may vary. I think backwards compatibility is important, but we can't expect Apple to do a quality test on every last app on the app store for hours and hours making sure it opens on every phone on every software version.
- bambax 3y ago> that since got taken off the app store I believe it's Apple's policy to remove apps that are not upgraded, even if they're still working. Which is baffling and highly questionable IMHO.
