Most iPhone users update iOS, and therefore I do think this is more important when testing with pc (old os, browser, screen reader etc).

Thanks for the quick reply Morten. I agree that the newer phone is more
tempting, but I just wondered if we should treat this like other tools --
realizing that not everyone has the latest versions of hardware/software
therefore testing on older versions of things. If the accessibility is
pretty much the same on both, I will probably request the newer phone.
