Why does this app feature require 4s

New update to the Ape store app lets you notify the Apple store when you are near by so the item you ordered fur puck can be made available. Nice feature, but it requires an iPhone 4s.

Wtf? Seriously Apple? Why? This neutering of your hardware through false functionality restrictions is getting thin and old.

 

I doubt it is bt as the range is not enough to give them warning of impending arrival in time. As for geo fencing well I can get alerts when I get close to a preset location on my iPhone now, do I cannot see why or how this is different.

If you do not think Apple purposely leaves out functions of ios, osx and apps that would work perfectly fine on older hardware only to promote sales of new hardware...well your kidding yourself. The jb community proved this over and over.

No sorry, this just like a few features already stated in ios 6 that will not work on the iPhone 4 is just Apples way.
