I think this is just a result of the apple store's accessory recommendation system. Probably so few people use anything older than iPhone 5, it doesn't make sense to include anything before that.

Yeah, they put product compatibility for everything on the site. But we also enjoy shit posting about this over priced microfiber cloth every year.

Oh I know. It is just a ridiculous oversight. Compatibility could have easily been hidden for the page and it would have made more sense lol. This is just poor website implementation. Harmless but also makes them look dumb and pretentious 🤣

It's intentional design, search engine optimisation.

Invisible text can accomplish the same thing.
