most of the devs might have to maintain some backward compatibility as there are those of us who have older devices that won't support iOS 7. Sure, I have an iPhone 5, but I also have a 3GS here as well. I use the 5 as a portable hotspot and the 3 has all my music and navigational apps on it. seems ridiculous, but the 3GS has far more memory available to it. So, there you go.
