> A new build requires iPhone X support.

That sounds like a valid reason to require you to submit a new build. it came out in 2017 and most iPhones follow that build style now.

Just to clarify, the tweet was a couple of months after the iPhone X came out.

When Apple launches a new phone, they manage to keep “old” apps compatible with the new hardware/OS. After that, developers are no longer allowed to upload such apps, even though they would work perfectly fine. It would not be a big harm for apple or end users if developers were allowed to lag behind for a year or two.
