basic html support doesn't work on earlier versions of ios safari due to the wrong decision that safari is bundled to ios.

you heard safari is the new internet explorer? that's why it's impractical and unsafe to use earlier versions of ios.

I’ve “heard” a lot of things. But, my first generation iPad from 2010 could render any page that I went to. Of course it crashed all of the time because that iPad only had 256Mb of RAM.

As far as being “unsafe”, Apple was publishing patches for iOS 9 and 10 as late as the middle of last year.

But do you really want to compare Apple supporting older hardware to Android?
