No iOS 8 for iPhone 4 : Apple

iOS-8-icon

Apple announces its all new iOS 8 for iPhone 4S, 5, 5C and 5S, iPad 2, new iPad,  iPad with Retina display,  iPad  Air,  iPad mini,  iPad mini with Retina display and fifth-generation iPod touch on Monday. But it did not provide any upgradation for iPhone 4 which left many owners of the phone disappointed.

There has been fruphies in the market that iOS 8 wouldn’t support iPhone 4, which turns out to be true on Monday at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2014
Apple first unveils iPhone 4 in 2010 and now it is turning four years old.

Apple’s tradition of dropping support for older device is nothing new; we saw the same thing happen for the iPhone 3GS not supporting iOS 7. Last year Apple stops selling of iPhone 4.
Whereas iOS 7 does supports iPhone 4 but it doesn’t offers some of  new features like siri,3D maps and turn-by-turn navigation , AirDrop , AirPlay mirroring ,live camera filters, panorama mode,simply because the older smartphone is to slow to handle it. .
Plus, iPhone 4 users also complained about the performance of iOS 7 on the older device, so an update of iOS 8 will create a more burden on this old device.
