Can I prevent users from installing my app on iPhone 3G and 3GS?
I want to support only iPhone 4 and higher, so I don’t want the app to be shown in the App Store for 3G and 3GS iPhone users.
Can I do that?
Thanks.

You can specify in your app’s device capabilities that it requires a front-facing camera and/or a gyroscope. iPhone 3GS has neither of those things.
See this article: http://www.appsbynight.com/2012/02/20/lock-users-from-running-an-app-on-older-ios-devices/
Keep in mind that there may be some risk of Apple taking issue with you requiring the front-facing camera if you don’t actually use it in your app. Or maybe they won’t care. I guess it’s a bit of a lottery.
