Lol! New software/OS updates = New features, so hardware can either handle it just fine or still handle it but not as fast as the newer devices with newer SoCs.
My PC is from 2006 mostly. It plays most everything up until 2017. and even some of this years stuff I can play.
I bought an iPad from 2 years ago, and it does nothing. It crashes playing angry birds... Basically just a facebook machine..
