    There’s profit motive in having terrible forward compatibility.

    Oh your phone can’t get new the version? Better buy a new one.

    Even now, if it wasn’t for non-user replaceable batteries, I’m sure loads of people wouldn’t bother to upgrade devices for years and years. My dad is still running an iPhone X, sees no reason to upgrade and it’s just losing latest OS support now. Not that that would bother him 😅
