Well...

I have had all three iphones and guess what? They suck. I never had as good of signal with any of them as I did with any other phone I used with at&t.

Another chink in Apple's armor

I suppose they couldn't really be expected to support it forever. Still, it should provide some perspective for those who constantly slam the lack of support for Android OS's.

dropping support for a 4 year old device that uses completely different processor architecture is completely different than dropping support for a device because you want to force customers to upgrade to another device.
