Fake News, actually. Too many times werethere apps that failed to install because they were too old, even though there were some that worked. There's the opposite problem though, with some old phones that have old android versions, some apps are too new to install. iOS gets frequent updates so this isn't much of an issue, except if your device is way, way too old. I'm an avid android supporter, and I've never had an iOS device myself cause I detest it for other reasons, but I've gotta say both platforms are equally problematic on this regard. iOS has no backwards compatibility, android has no forwards compatibility.
