Keywords = 'supposed to'
Apple doesn't make any money by supporting old phones, they make money by selling new phones. My money says all the QA effort goes into the new phone and old phones are an afterthought.

I'm good. Why would I volunteer to be a beta-tester when they've repeatedly failed with this at product launch? I need a working phone.

Someone in their testing team didn't learn from past mistakes and it bit them in the a$$ again. That makes it a hit on the companies image and to their bottom line if people choose not to buy another product from apple (or upgrade).

That's not what happens though, what happens is people go "ohh my phone is old, better go get that new iPhone."
