The problem is usually SSL support, the problem is that older SSL and TLS versions are being disabled.

I actually have an example myself - an iPad 3. Apple didn't allow anyone else than themselves to provide a web browser engine, and at some point they deliberately stopped updates. This site used to work, until some months ago. I currently use it for e-books, if that wasn't the case I think it by now it would essentially be software bricked.

I acknowledge that owning older Apple hardware is dumb. I didn't pay for it, though.
