I was whining about this on another forum, and mentioned particularly a new app I had just downloaded, called Anylist. (I used to use Shoplist which you cant even get on the App Store anymore... was using it since 2007). Anyway, I had a whine about that, and the developer took the time to join the forum and post their rationale for having decided to drop support for older OSes. It made sense to me, they are a two man team. Larger teams could make the effort. See, its not just iOS6 thats been abandoned. In some cases (eg Anylist) its not even compatible with iOS7. It was the lack of compatibility for some of my apps, and missing out on added features or security, which drove me to update, yesterday.
