Companies often use seamless data migration, ongoing updates, and alternative support channels to transition users to new platforms. While legacy devices sometimes get minimal attention, many developers still offer community-driven fixes, acknowledging the need for support as technology evolves.

The best mobile support services implement tiered deprecation plans rather than sudden cutoffs. Pokémon GO gradually reduced features on older devices before ending support entirely, first removing AR functionality, then limiting visual effects, before finally requiring an upgrade. This phased approach gives players time to transition while maintaining core functionality as long as possible.
