Well, as far as I know Apple stops firmware update support after only a few years. So if you want to be secure you have to upgrade to a newer, very expensive, iPhone even if the hardware would be able to run the new iOS?

Let's go one step further -- you can sometimes go to the next version, but doing so appears to have special code to target you and degrade the phone's performance in a semi-catastrophic manner.

You could argue the same with Android but if you pay 150 Euro it doesn't hurt that much. And in a lot of cases it would be possible to run a newer Cyanogenmod instead of the official Android port.

And Android updates don't deliberately break old phones, you just have to find someone who actually put in the work to build it for an older phone.
