This just isn't true; Android absolutely has version limits.

The Google play store has version limits. A sideloaded app will almost always work

I recently decided to jailbreak my ipod touch. The options are so fucking sketch it felt extremely gross. And thats coming from an android user. You know you are in best hands if the jailbreaking software link their mixtape.

Android and iOS are both abysmal.

most of the time? yes.

some apps do actually break with newer android versions though. It's gotten a little better and happened less often after the big step to Android 4 (okay… that is itself more than 10 years ago)

but it can and does still happen sometimes

Yeah Android CAN run the app if you have the APK. But also the play store won't let you if the dev hasn't updated the app in a couple of years. Older games are especially bad.

Backwards compatibility is a double-edged sword. It's cool that you can run an apk from 10 years ago but there should be a point where you say that's enough and drop support from them. Looking at Windows.

I learned the other day that thats the reason you cannot make a folder named CON on windows. Dates back to pre DOS era.

Everybody used a blackberry once... Being loyal to a brand gets you left behind.
