So recently I've tried to download 2 apps that I need on iOS.

Skype and Ebay which now "don't" have iOS 6 versions anymore, adding to it a game I downloaded "lost" its iOS 6 version as well but luckily I have that downloaded.

If anyone has these I would appreciate it! Hopefully this isn't against rules as these two apps are free.

Thanks

iOS 6 is over 5 years old now. Most apps have dropped support for anything older than iOS 9. You might find an app that still supports iOS 8 but past that you have no chance.

If you really 'need' them you'll have to upgrade your device.

Actually managed to find them for my device. And yeah it's an old OS but until apple fixes the 4S disaster it'll have to be iOS 6

I mean you could just upgrade to an iOS 10/11 device and have a 10x better experience.

iPhone 5 is a iOS 10 device and its just barely better from my experience

If you're looking to always run the bare minimum you're never going to have a good time really. The 5 came out 5? years ago. There has been four generational upgrades since then. What's your reluctance to upgrade to a 6S or a 7?
