Old iOS devices don't get Safari updates for one.


Define old. The oldest iOS device receiving today's updates is the iPhone 8 released in 2017.

Firefox for Android still supports Android 5.0, which came out in 2014.

Many devices released prior to that were upgradeable to Android 5.0, including 2013's Samsung Galaxy S4.

Apple may have a good track record in terms of device upgrades, but a 10 year old Android device can still run the latest browser.

Apple's policies make that an impossibility for iOS.


Like the iPhone 5, I suppose?
