I have a coworker using either a 4 or 4S and I saw him install a new app on it last week. Are you referring specifically to apps that no longer support old versions of iOS? As far as I know the App Store maintains compatibility with old iPhones and allows them to download and install stuff just like new ones.

That is not my experience at all. I have an original iPad, an original iPad mini, several iPhone 4 and 4s.

Well, I use an iPhone 4S running iOS 8 and can install apps from the app store.
