I have Windows 7 Pro installed, a version of Windows that is six (6) years old haven been released on 10/22/2009. My wife's late 2011 iMac has the original OS X 10.7 Lion installed, which is four years old, haven been released on 7/20/2011.
This week I installed the iTunes update 12.4 on my Windows 7 Pro, an operating system that has been in service for six (6) years. W7 was released on 10/22/2009. As a comparison, OS X 10.7 Lion is four (4) years old and released on 7/20/2011.
On my PC, I was prompted this week to install the iTunes update of 12.4. The funny thing is that I cannot do this on OS X 10.7 Lion. Since when is it easier to support an older version of the competition than your own, Apple?
BTW, I discovered this when I attempted to setup the wife's new iPhone SE on the iMac. All other iDevices are setup on it. I got a message saying that the iPhone SE required iTunes 12.4, which of course isn't supported on OS X 10.7.5 or earlier.
