Nope. Smartphones get replaced more regularly, and with less compatibility headaches than Desktops.

XP reigned for over a decade. No iOS version will be widely used for nearly that long.

You could also argue that Safari on desktop is more likely to be updated as well since it is generally accepted that Mac OS X has a higher adoption rate of new versions since:

1. enterprise use of Mac OS X is pretty small, and its generally enterprises that are slow to upgrade OS/browser, etc (albeit for generally valid reasons) 2. OS X upgrades have been free for some time now.
