Although Apple is keen on its customers moving to new devices every year or two, it's extending a helping hand to those who have decided to stay behind.
First discovered by a Reddit user on Monday, Apple is now giving folks who own older iOS devices the opportunity to download outdated app versions to ensure a particular program can run on their product. Previously, those who were running older iOS versions were asked to update to a new version to get their hands on a particular app.
According to an image posted on Reddit, when folks with older versions of iOS try to download a newer app now, they'll be shown a pop-up message suggesting that they download an older version of the app. The feature appears to analyze the iOS version they're running and ask them to download "the last compatible version."
Apple's compatibility offer comes as the company prepares to launch iOS 7 on Wednesday. That software version comes with hundreds of improvements, including a new design.
