why doesnt aple update the iphone 4s after 9.3.5 when there is an ios 11

My iPhone can't get the new emojis with makes it really annoying when question marks and skin coloured come up on my screen. Also I can't get different varieties of apps becoming he iOS update. There are other reasons too and that's why I wanted to know if there is any way I could update my iPhone 4s or get money from Apple for it( no cracks or dents, works fine but really slow compared to other phones, and clear)?

iOS 11 requires faster hardware than what’s in an iPhone 4s. Apple does offer cash for some iPhone models but on the website the oldest one listed is the iPhone 5 for $35. You’d be better off seeing if you can sell it and then using the money toward a new model.
