Many apps you could get and run on iphone 4 like youtube no longer exists or no longer supports iphone 4. It isn't the same thing. If you could open up your iphone 4, go to the appstore and buy the same apps and run them just fine like you could 9 years ago then it would be the same thing.

Actually you can.

I had a first generation iPad that I dug up last year. If the newest version isn’t available, you can still download the “last compatible version”. In some cases, the backend APIs that are needed to support the app have been deprecated.
