Untrue, apple makes sure their latest iOS support at least two latest devices (e.g. iphone 3gs + iphone 4).

In reality this means the users of previous generation are not left out which happens regularly with nokia.

and if, on top of that, the smartphones in question use the same CPU architecture then the servers (Intel) and it is possible to distribute literally the same OS on all devices, that makes for economies of scales no company would want to miss.
or not have a part in, no?
Where did you get this idea? Let me give you an example:
Remember Java slogan "Run once execute everywhere", well it is simply marketing over-simplification. I don't see how server and phone architecture relate to provide sam OS on all devices.
