How long have you been buying Apple products? Apple is notoriously known for cutting off old stuff, so this shouldn't really be a surprise, and if it is, get used to it
I spent almost 2k on just a plastic Macbook before Apple tossed those out the window, and another $1,800 on iDevices ranging from the second gen ipod to the iPhone 5. I've kept my MacBook running fine without any damage since 07, and even rocked a first gen iphone for five years without breaking it. I don't think Apple gets to punish me for being able to not break me *****, and they know know it, they just don't want to tell you that, otherwise lay-downs like you don't walk into the Apple Store, lay down on the the floor, hold your wallet in the air, and ask them what you should buy. I full heartedly agree with HadItWithWindow, so far I've got two upgrade dvds from Apple for free. One was for buying a new hard drive from Apple, which they make you think you have to (not true) and it came pre installed with a higher OS then the disks that came with my comp. I wanted to clean my comp and reinstall, and simply explaining that I had bought there HDD for an outrageous price means i should have got the dvd to go with it, got a free leopard disk no prob. Next was for exactly this iPhone 5 problem, and got the snow leopard disk no problem. So don't ask "how long have you been using Apple products" this is not how they operated even two years ago, I never had all the bs with things outdating and not working till about the 4s
