If anything Apple is infamous for keeping around hardware blocks for as long as they can. IIRC the serial port driver for everything Apple ARM dates back to the very first generations of iPods.

Of course Apple will remain a moving target, but they are orders of magnitude more stable than everyone else in the non-x86 universe.
