Also, iOS 7 doesn't support iPad 1 or iPhone 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations, and only has limited support for the iPhone 4. Even the 4S doesn't get all features.
Apple wants you to buy a new device every two years at the latest too. If you'll be fine with 5 years old tech in five years, I don't really think it matters whether you use an iOS or Android device. (Now at least; I'd have agreed with you 2-3 years ago.)

Games addiction is not Apple's fault... and you can get treatment for it...
As far as the OS is concerned, you'd be amongst the 1st complaining about it not making use of improved hardware but seem to think that it's wrong that some things won't work on the older kit - it's always been that way - it is possible to actually use what you've got (after all, it was fine until something that didn't previously exist came along) but if you must have latest games etc then that's hardly a new thing (and certainly not an Apple/Android invention) as it's always been a trend in PCs...
