Honestly it's kind of messed up to drop iOS support for a product that they were still selling as of yesterday (and maybe still will today). If someone bought a 3 they should get updates for at least a year.

This says something more about Apple still selling an ancient model rather than dropping support for older hardware.

Good riddance to the Series 3. Should have been dropped before. Having to reset your device to install updates is ridiculous!
