Apple are horrible for trying to make people upgrade - thats for sure, but really, what apps 'require ios 6'? I'm still using an iphone3 (last os upgrade was a stripped down version of ios4) and the only thing I haven't been able to download because it won't work on my phone was a some game once that was just a timewaster anyway.

The most important thing by far on a phone/tablet is the web. It doesn't care about your OS version... It was like this on the iphone1 and it will be on the ipad10.

What apps "require" ICS? Isn't Gingerbread good enough? :)

The point is that lack updates hurts consumers. This is no less true when Apple does it than when Android OEMs and carriers do.
