Apple Is Building iOS 9 For Its Older Devices i.e. iPhone 4 & First iPad Mini

Apple is reportedly going to do something it has never done before – and that is to build up the next iOS for its older gadgets. Some insiders have confirmed that the Cupertino-based tech giant was, indeed, focused on building “Monarch,” which was the codename the company has for the iOS 9, for all devices that run on its old A5 processor.

That could only mean that the iOS 9 will be optimized for the iPhone 4 and the very first iPad Mini, among other pieces of hardware that will also get a lot of attention from the iOS 9.

With regards to the previous upgrades that Apple has launched, it would appear that they were predominantly focused on developing a complete version of old aging systems and simply removing some features that cause certain issues. However, this particular approach did not work well for many of Apple’s classic users, such as those who have purchased the iPhone 4 in 2010.

When Apple rolled out the iOS 7 for the iPhone 4 three years after the device was launched into the market, owners took to the Internet to rally and complain about the bugs that the update caused, according to Tech Times.

It looks like Apple is trying to avoid this problem, as sources have claimed that the American company’s engineers are developing what is referred to as a “core version,” which is expected to run smoothly with older devices.

“I would not say there is nothing new for consumers,” a source revealed to 9to5Mac. “But, the feature lists are more stripped down than the initial plans called for.”

However, even if iOS 9 might still bring something now, Apple insiders have stated that company executives have opted to place more focus on quality and stability, instead of adding more features that could fail or cause further problems for the units. It is expected that there will still be handful of features that were not present in the iOS 8, but they will most likely be not as many as hoped.
