Do you have stats for how plentiful iPhone 5 users are?
The Apple iPhone 5 was released in 2012. Apple has provided those users with 5 years of updates (assuming September is when they will release the new iPhone and also update the major iOS version number).
5 years is a long time in the mobile handset business... I doubt too many people will be livid about anything.
- bruceb 10y agoYou assume everyone purchased the iphone 5 in 2012. The iphone 5c was still selling new in India less than a year ago. Also new ones still listed for sale direct from Walmart it appears: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-iPhone-5C-8GB-AT-T-Locked/45722852 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-iPhone-5C-8GB-AT-T-Locked/4... If you purchased a new device and in less than a year support is dropped, yeah you might be livid.
