What about older 32 bit iOS devices that can't be updated past iOS 10? Will they issue an update for them or do you just have to turn off iMessage? Still have a perfectly functional Series 4 iPad

Given that jailbreaks exist and can be exploited by malicious actors, deploying them as the user and applying the jailbreak community supplied fix may be the best approach:

Can anyone confirm that older iOS devices are affected as well or was this introduced at a later point?

Don't remote root exploits (jailbreaks) exists for those devices? Then it's basically game over if anyone want anything already.
