    And meanwhile Apple has been providing 6+ years of FULL updates for over a decade

    But they’re the bad guys?

      Not the point, but they’re the bad guys for other reasons. Walled garden, bad repairability etc. Their update policy is really solid, though.

      Ah yes, that’s why they make apps unavailable for older devices with no way to install them besides some iTunes hack that I’m not sure works anymore.

        How old devices are you trying to use?

        And is it Apple or the app developer who hasn’t updated their app in a decade?

          Apple are the ones who refuse to allow developers to deploy apps that run on older devices while also not allowing users to download previous versions of an app.
