I shudder to think anyone would expect a 3+ year old device to do any of that, frankly. Even original iPhones can't do everything they did before, with the changes that have happened and the lack of updates for the original model(s). Anyone expecting ANY device to continue to work with and support dynamically changing systems years later is likely in for a rude shock.
