Yah, any modern software does that. Such a spooky concept that software devs add features over time!

    They don’t need to do that to old phones. Just security updates.

    Apple released Snow Leopard in 2009. That OS release added nothing new except it did everything faster. iOS is long overdue for that.

    Nah, they need to keep all phones in OS parity for security purposes.
