Fragmentation Comes To iOS

[wraggster]

While the fragmentation issues in iOS are nowhere near as bad as Android (http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/06/with-57-5-share-gingerbread-still-the-top-android-os-jelly-bean-climbs-to-1-2/), it can no longer be considered non existent. I have prepared a chart (http://colourmeamused.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/fragmentation-comes-to-ios/) showing which features will be available on which device. While some restrictions are the result of hardware limitations, it is clear that Apple has deliberately chosen to limit some previous generation devices, and figuring this out isn't always straightforward if you're not buying the latest iPad or iPhone."
