It might be enough for a single vendor to "break ranks" and go with treble to have a decent effect. Xiaomi did so with their large batteries, for example.

- GordonS 9y agoI'm more an Android guy, so I don't have an iPhone (except for testing on mobile apps I'm working on), and so I don't know what the update situation is like. But my (limited!) understanding is that when they release new iOS versions they are available at least a couple of generations back - is that correct? Or if you buy a network locked phone is it up to the network?
- remir 9y agoiOS updates are pushed directly by Apple. There's also "carrier updates", which I believe are also pushed by Apple, that update network settings and enables certain features when the carrier support them (VoLTE, Wifi-Calling, etc).
- halostatue 9y agoDepending on the nature of the update, iPhone updates are generally 3–5 generations back. Just on the iPhone side, iOS 10 has some level of support on the iPhone 7 (current generation); iPhone 6s (-1 year); iPhone 6 (-2 years); iPhone SE (slightly updated iPhone 5s); iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c (-3 years); and iPhone 5 (-4 years). That’s five generations of support for iPhone. They are a little more aggressive with iPad and iPod touch deprecation, but I think that’s because some of those devices were built underpowered anyway.
