I would imagine they'll stick to ~6 years purely for financial reasons. The longer they support older phones, the fewer new ones they're selling. I'm guessing they did some math to determine the optimum amount of time to support older phones without alienating users who would jump ship to cheaper Android phones.

Create shortcuts for each one then put those on the main screen. That's what I've done.

  • Go to "Shortcuts"
  • Click the "+" in the upper right hand corner
  • Tap "Add Action"
  • Tap on the "+" next to "Call"
  • Tap on "Contact" and select the contact
  • Tap on the drop down next to "Call" at the top of the screen
  • Tap on "Rename" and give it a name
  • Tap on "Done"
  • On your Home Screen, tap and hold a blank area
  • Tap on "+" at the upper left hand corner
  • Scroll to "Shortcuts" and tap
  • Select the format you want and tap "Add Widget"
  • Tap on the Widget then tap
  • Next to "Folder" tap on "All Shortcuts"
  • Select "Contacts"

This SHOULD do it for you if I didn't miss a step (entirely possible).
