All A5/A5X devices are not supported anymore. Apple messed up in their website.

Yep, I bet you can find caveman paintings of it running RockOS 3.

This is kinda weird: iPad 2/iPad Mini/iPod Touch 5 with A5 CPUs are still supported but iPhone 4S with the exact same specs is not.
Mainly due to the 3.5" form factor I think, everything was a little squished on the 4S in iOS 9. And it's weird as Apple's page says the iPT 5 is compatible, but in the keynote, they only said the 6th gen onwards. I guess we'll have to wait to see what the news on that is :)

Their naming scheme is so confusing, even they can't get it right. :D

Do Apple have any Product Managers? They can't even align an announcement with their website. Apple used to be a company that crossed the T's and dotted the i's. Quality is going down in all regards.
