I think Google, Apple, Samsung et.al should be upfront on when they plan to end of life (EOL) their devices. Many devices now a day is SaaS with a upfront cost.

I think Google, Apple, Samsung et.al should be upfront on when they plan to end of life (EOL) their devices. Many devices now a day is SaaS with a upfront cost. So divide the cost of the phone with how long it will be supported, then you'll get the monthly cost. Guys! We need a fully open source smart-phone that can be community supported forever! Why isn't there on yet ?
- dmitriid 9y ago> I think Google, Apple, Samsung et.al should be upfront on when they plan to end of life (EOL) their devices. iOS 11 (released in 2017) is compatible with these devices [1]: - iPhone 5s (released on September 20, 2013) - iPad mini 2 (released on November 12, 2013) - iPod touch 6th generation (released on July 15, 2015) Apple doesn't have to be upfront. Apple users know that the support lasts for years (iOS 10 was released in 2016 and oldest supported device was from 2012, iOS 9: 2015 and 2011, previous versions would usually support three-year old devices).
