Again you are completely missing the point. I don’t like Apple either, so no point in repeating all the crap they do, but running old apps on newer OS is mostly irrelevant to normal users as the apps they use get updated through the appstore anyways. Rather the opposite is the problem… i.e. apps get updated and stop working on older Android versions.
No, we are talking about two totally different things. Realistically speaking iPhones are used longer than Androids, as even the older models offer an experience similar to the new models due to continued OS upgrades that Apple provides.
Even if in theory you can still use an Android 2.2 device, while you can not as well do so with an simlarly aged unsupported iPhone, no one really does that as the usability, security and new app compatibility is so bad with the old Android. On the other hand, a still supported older iPhone is perfectly usable with new apps.
Again the problem is not old apps not running on modern Phones, but modern apps not running on older Androids.
And I can definitely say that where I live there are much more handed-down iOS phones still in good working-order than Androids (that usually are e-waste after 2-3 years due to lack of OS updates).
