In practice, however, given how different iOS 7's UI is, it's likely that many developers will themselves forego support for previous iOS versions, resulting in fewer choices for owners of devices that, like the first-generation iPad and iPhone 3GS, cannot be updated to the most recent releases of Apple's mobile software.

Apple wil graag dat alle apps dezelfde ervaring geven als wat zij doen met hun iOS. Ik zie daar niets vreemds aan eigenlijk.
