Most interesting part that iOS 6 will support the iPhone 3GS which is now almost 3 years old. How many Android Phones from July 2009 will support Android 4.0 ?

I think that says a lot.
- eavc 14y agoIt says mostly that iOS hasn't changed much in 3 years.
- smackfu 14y agoThe reason iOS 6 supports 3GS isn't for the people who bought one in July 2009. The reason iOS 6 supports 3GS is for the people who bought one today for $0.99.
- taligent 14y agoThat's ridiculous. Apple clearly states 3GS here: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/ http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/

- myko 14y agoYes but major features like Siri and turn by turn wont work on the 3GS (or 4), which I think says a lot as well. Check smackfu's comment for device feature support breakdowns: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4096633 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4096633
- sandipc 14y agoThat may also be because the 3GS is still on sale now. Not many Android phones from 2009 are still available for purchase.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoAlso worth noting that the identically-spec'd (sans phone bits) 3rd gen iPod touch will not be supported. Unless every single iOS 6 feature was phone and camera related, I can't see any good reason that one should get it and the other won't.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoApple is currently selling iPhone 3GS (free in the states if I'm not mistaken), but thy ceased selling 3rd gen. iPod touches 2 years ago.
