Apple updates are available to all compatible devices on the day of release.
So just make some devices incompatible right?
Why doesn't IOS 7 work on an iPhone 3GS?
https://discussions.apple.com/...
When apple does it, it is fine because the hardware is "too old for the new OS" but when android does the same thing for similar reasons "Few Android phones get more then one update". There is a huge difference between Android and IOS. Apple makes both the hardware and software. It is not a function of "android" when hardware manufacturers don't release new updates for their devices, that is the manufacturers doing that.
BTW, How many updates did the 3GS get before it was EOL?
You said "Apple OS updates are free of charge". OSX updates were not always free of charge.
PS, Apple did a similar "EOL" for Mavericks, two models, released fairly close together, one gets the update the other doesn't.
"Quite possibly. Neither of us have Apple TV, and it's not what we were talking about."
Really, so because this device does 'auto updates' it is OK because here are no third party risks? isn't the same true for all IOS devices since they all use the app store?
