The typical lifetime of an iPhone is so short, I can imagine that Apple will one day save themselves a lot of pain and cost and just limit each iOS release to a single phone / ipad release.
- swift 9y agoThat's not accurate. I keep my iPhones for two years, and when I upgrade I give them to family members who have always gotten another 2-3 years of use out of them. (And Apple has continued to support them during that time with software updates.) It's actually one of the main things that keeps me in the iPhone ecosystem.
- jclardy 9y agoThat's strange, I still see iPhone 4s/5/5s on the regular. The lifetime of my iPhone is typically a year, yes, but my used phones live on for many more years through other people after I sell them.
- valuearb 9y agoYes, 5 years of constant updates for every phone is so short, especially compared to Androids zero years.
