Without emphasizing your original post, this may answer your question...


Live Data Transfer and Device Differentiations:


  • Data Transfer Rate:

In much older iPhone models, your didn't have access to WiFi 7, as it didn't exist. Dual Band (AC) wasn't around, as Wireless G, or Wireless N was the only option, depending on the model. With slow DTR, expect slow speed to complete.


  • GUI:

iTunes is used in older iPhones, where as Music or TV apps are used in today's iOS.


  • Home Button for Logins:

Home Button is an option in older iPhone models. Nowadays, the entire iPhone is touchscreen. So, logging in is much different.
