No Man's Sky iPhone Cutoff Leaves Older Phones Out

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's 9:00 Eastern, this is No Bull with Hank, and tonight we are talking about a universe with a bouncer at the door.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorArs Technica and The Verge both say No Man's Sky is coming to the iPhone and iPad after ten years of patching its way back into people's good graces, and you need an iPhone eleven or newer to get in.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number one. Ten years, folks. A decade of apologies and updates, and the redemption arc ends at a hardware check.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number two. We were promised infinite planets. Infinite. And infinity, it turns out, has a minimum phone requirement.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd finally, talking point number three.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSomewhere in a drawer there is a perfectly working phone, and tonight it learned it is too old for the cosmos. It has never been so insulted.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo here is what they won't tell you. The universe was never the product. The phone was.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's the show. We're back same time tomorrow, and the universe is infinite, folks, but the bouncer is an iPhone eleven.
