Why iOS 7 will not compatible with iPhone 3gs

Yes I agree with you. I was sad when they annouced that they are not going to give 3gs ios 7. What wrong with 3gs? Its cool. I love it! Do they love to see some apple users changed to android users cause they ain't got ios 7. Read this apple!

Whether you agree or not is irrelevant.

The 3GS hit the end of the road at 6.1.6.

It was sunset for the same reason the original iPhone and 3G were sunset. And just like all three of those, at some point the 4, 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, and all future iPhone will reach a sunset date. No product is supported indefinitely.

because, it was a old device from 2009 almost 6 years old, the 3gs had a darn long run, but, it just wasn't compatible. plus, you can always go get a new phone, if you just wanna hang on to your 3gs, go ahead, i aint stopping ya so, but iOS 6 is still very compatible and will run almost everything is 7 can run

That's a decision every app creator makes. I have apps that still work on iOS 1.0. If an app you want doesn't that means the app developer chose not to support older versions. It has nothing to do with Apple. There is no technical reason an app cannot be designed to work on all versions.

sorry but even if you don't care about apps ( me ) e mail providers g mail, aol etc no longer provide to my old I3. So it's now difunt. Guess I've got to buy a new phone. can't afford a posh new Apple so elsware I trot.

Ios 7 does not and will never be compatible with the iphone 3gs

Anywhere in that rambling drivel is there a technical support question for us, your fellow users?

FYI, Apple provides iOS updates for older devices far longer than ANY Android device manufacturer.

Maybe official updates, but I got an HD2 from 2009 running the latest Android Version flawlessly due to third party development. You don't get this on iOS

then why not make ios 8 :/ sounds weird but they cant end 3gs,acctually i dont want the looks are features of the ios 7.i just want the performance and other cool things

or they could just keep fixing bugs,and maybe some performance updates :/

Imagine 3GS Having the iOS 7.

thanks for reply but Apple shouldn't keep the apps on Istore for 3gs? they are already exist...
