Stitcher runs on iOS 7.  You can get podcasts to run on it.

Do you ever consider the free upgrades that get offered?  There's been probably over a thousand since the iphone 4.

What carrier are you on?

His iphone is 4 yo though, I will say he got his money worth.
But Anyway, it can, maybe, be done.
1.) Google install new apps on older iOS.There are work arounds.
2.) And if new app requires a newer iOS version, apple is almost on version 11, he got 7. Jailbreak and install older versions of apps.
3.) go to swappa and buy an iphone 5 or better, starting at 80 bucks...

There's always deals for a free upgrades.

Right now certified pre-owned 6s is only 18/mth in addition to a plan.  Eons better than the 4. 

If you asked them if they could help you out you might get it cheaper.

Yeah, but falcon's problem was trying to install an OS that wasn't supported by the model of the phone he has.  That's not a good example to use to make a case against Apple products' "ease of use".

My point is that the backward compatibility issues from these iPhone apps aren't a sign of user friendliness. My Android OS version became a dinosaur, but -again-, I had no upgrade or installing issues with the latest apps.

It is a sign of apps requiring needed maintenance. as a user of both oses, google play Store is full of shit and malware. I don't want abandoned apps and buggy shit on my phone.

I'm not a fan of apple, either - but he has an iphone 4 and that was first released in 2010, so yeah.. maybe time to allow apple to abandon supporting it.

As long as it works and you're not in need of a better camera or to play the latest mobile games, there isn't much reward for upgrading.

True, there are a lot of crappy Android apps, but you have plenty of pearles as well. Don't confuse apps with ads with malware. In most cases you either pay for an app or you accept ads.

No, malware. This just happen yesterday, 36 million android devices infected. For better or worst, apple's App Store is locked down and is safer.

That's bad publicity for Google, since they have autoscan technology in their Gmail service.

Neither of them is perfect, but at least I can run almost any app on my old Android version with root access.

Personally, both OS to me are quality.

It's just a matter of what nuances you want to deal with.

Galaxy, Pixel, iPhone are all great.

If rooting your phone and increasing the chance of malware and privacy issues, have at it. It's your phone.

Yup the OSes are pretty much the same now a days. Apple does offer better customer support and their apps are not in beta like google does.
Try to talk to somebody at google about your android having issues. Not happening. Plus no support of beta features and apps.

When needed, I use Advanced Permission Manager to adjust certain app rights. This only works in root mode.
