Apple today announced that starting July 18th, all iOS app updates must support the iPhone X and iOS 11.
iOS 11 delivers innovative features and the redesigned App Store to hundreds of millions of customers around the world. Your apps can deliver more intelligent, unified, and immersive experiences with Core ML, ARKit, new camera APIs, new SiriKit domains, Apple Music integration, drag and drop for iPad, and more. Starting July 2018, all iOS app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 11 SDK and must support the Super Retina display of iPhone X.
More details at the link below. Check out the iClarified app for iPhone X here.
Kinda ridiculous that there are apps (some paid ones) only supporting the iPhone 5/5s or older nowadays...
It's nice if you've got an older iPhone around so apps don't start eating extra resources due to updates, but that's about it.
Makes sense....why keep using older tech if New Security updates won't protect it. Doesn't mean ya need to get a X but you can CERTAINLY upgrade from a 5 or 5(S) to a 7 or 8.
