I definitely think someone in cupertino does this. I downgraded and keep my

issues creeping up on me when it was on iOS 4.something right around when the
first iphone 4 came out. Its a shame that most apps in the store require ios
4.x or later but luckily I have stashed all my working old versions of the
programs i need away safe, but I slightly resent being being alienated for not
keeping on the upgrade bandwagon.
Very annoying, I agree.
I've upgraded my phone which has caused a trickledown, ending in my daughter
getting an iPhone 3g - which indeed I've left on iOS 3 so it runs fine.
But because the App store only allows a single version of any app, as soon as
one is upgraded to require 4.0 or greater, it is impossible to add it to an
older phone. Skype is the immediate case in point. As far as I can tell
there is no way round this - even if Skype could be persuaded to re-issue the
old version as 'Skype for iOS 3', I don't think Apple would accept it into the
app store.
And of course I didn't backup those old installs of the apps.
Bah.
