Pokémon GO to Stop Working on Older iPhones and iPads - News

Pokemon GO developer Niantic announced the game will stop working on Apple devices that run on an iOS version older than 11 when a new update is released on February 28.
The reason is that the update provides "improvements to Pokemon GO that push the application beyond the capabilities of the operating systems on such devices."
iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPad fourth generation, iPad 2, and older model users will no longer be able to play the game.

The problem is, iOS 11 prevents tons of apps that haven't been updated to 64-bit from working. So, if you update for this one game, you'll be simultaneously breaking all of those older games you enjoy.
What I want to know is why is it only IOS? What about older android phoned? Would this not affect them too?
Seems like apple trying to PR their way into forcing people to upgrade...
When it first comes out, that is one thing. A spec issue is very believable. The issue is that the game did work on these phones, and now only the older veraions of IOS cannot run them, deapite being able to before.
However in my eyes, if IOS phones were affected, android should too if it were truly a spec problem. Meaning that older android phones that CAN run it would also lose functionallity, but that is not the case.
New update is released on February 28? How about a new update now to fix the stupid bug that makes reset back to the top every time you're trying to scroll down or view your Pokemons?
It isn't just Apple. Android devices running anything before Kitkat are not going to be able to run Pokemon go.
I dont play it but kinda lame.
