This mess looks something like this:
This content (application) requires iOS 7.0 (any version can be used here) and newer. To download and use this application, please update to iOS 7.0 (or higher software version).
And, it would seem, what is the problem? Update and download! But:
- There is not always a need for a new firmware version; someone wants to leave their device on the old and proven version software. "jambs" in iOS 10! Not everyone will want to upgrade.
- Many people simply cannot install new firmware- , pay attention to the number of comments.
