There is an element of tragic comedy to those announcement. While remarkable on their own, everybody knows that one cannot use any new browser feature reliably any time soon due to Apple not shipping continuous updates to the browsers they force upon their users.

iOS from 2 versions prior don't get latest Safari?

I can't check because my wife's iPhone is, regrettably according to her, "updated to the latest glAss version".

I know one of my clients complained something didnt work on their few year old iPad. So.. I don't know what the cutoff is but clearly not everything updates regularly. He did try updating it manually too but couldn't.

Safari got a big update last week.

Safari in general got an update, or Safari on only the devices Apple deems worthy? Usually Apple limits Safari updates to new phones.

Do you consider six-year-old phones new? What about seven-year-old Macs?

I think the iPhone X is the newest model that is no longer receiving iOS updates. That came out in 2017. So 8 years ago
