Answer 1

Regarding supported iOS device systems and their relationship
to Mac OS X systems, compatibilities, that is another topic of
equal interest if you are seeking to match an older iDevice with
an OS X. There are several different articles & ASC discussions
that cover some of these secondary topics, to some degree.
iOS 6 and above, and Mac OS X 10.5.x
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6021
If you have an older iDevice (iPhone, iPad, etc) product & it gets
an iOS upgrade to a later version, that cannot be downgraded to
an earler version; so that is something to consider should you
have an older device and need to connect it through a newer Mac
than you own, since it may need an iOS upgrade to work with a
the newer computer, yet may not connect to an older vintage one
that you may have at home, vs one at work or school.
So in another perspective, your question has a different meaning.
Perhaps it may help to keep that in mind, w/ Mac OS X upgrade
and how it may relate to an iOS product compatibility. Especially
if you've more than one OS X version you'd use an iDevice with.
This is how, in part, an iOS item can become orphaned to an OS X.
That may be a good thing if your old Mac can't go further ahead.
Good luck & happy computing!
