Inside iOS 9: Under-the-Hood Improvements for Battery Life, Security, and More

Also I want to be able to fingerprint ID enabled for purchases but I don't want it enabled for lock screen and I don't want a password ever.

And I want a unicorn...

It's a poor analogy that you're making. Read this comment.
By making poor software to sell hardware isn't a really smart move and by having a 4-year old device running well on the latest OS says a lot about the company and its products (software or hardware).

Who said anything about poor software? I said, companies make software for the latest devices - not the other way around.

Geez. Why is comprehension so low in this forum?

I disagree. I'm an iOS Developer and I know what these devices are capable of.
That's one. Another thing would be that designing software on less performant devices will lead to great performance advantages for more performant ones. Also, who says that designing software for slower devices will impair new or more features for the faster ones? At its core the software must be fast!

If that's the case, we would not have Metal.

Hi gary, just tell Siri to shut it down. She´ll do it.

That's nice, better than navigating menus to find it.

Now if she'll just do it automagically for me at a percentage of MY choosing (not just 20%).

Thanks for this. I was trying to figure if I wanted to upgrade an iPod 5g. Guess not.
