The iPhone 3G : outdated ?

I would not allow myself to think that Apple uses planned obsolescence , although I recently titled a big troll on the subject, but the fact is that iOS 6.0 make the iPhone 3G – released in 2008 – outdated , and in the worst way in my opinion. And everyone does not want to buy an iPhone 5S.
