Is iOS getting too fragile?

What's funnier is there was a . Time for bed I think.

Ya' got me on that. Have a good night.

There will be backlash but it will be completely worth it. They're giving a warning right now with content blockers requiring 64 bit, but the next version of iOS will require it.

Doubt the 5 will be discontinued when the 4S got 4 years support

The support of older devices makes me feel ok about plunking $1000 on a phone, and $400 on an iPod.

Also, I've turned several former Android users into iPeople by giving away my old, but still supported iDevices.

So there is significant financial benefit to Apple in continuing support as long as feasible.

There is a TON of anger being directed at Google right now by Android users who are sick and tired of spending so much money on immediately obsolete devices. They are quite envious of the treatment we get from Apple.

I agree but it is very stratified - driven by misinformation, OEM support (or lack) and Carrier barriers.
At times I am not sure what is worse: Android not getting the updates or iOS getting the updates and have then negatively affect iDevice users.

Flip a coin

Could the issue be the app is not yet optimized for iOS 9?
