Welcome to HN, in as gentle a way possible I refute this statement
> Apple continues to support nearly-decade-old devices like the iPhone 6S, which and iOS 15.8 is still powering those devices, seemingly with official Apple support, with the latest update from October the 25th, which addressed some security vulnerabilities.

So, to the author's assertion that "Apple does a good job supporting old hardware", they may give some security patches but interoperability between current and previous versions is seemingly deliberately broken.
