Apple prefers to tell you a $1,000 device every 12-18 months as opposed to a $2000 device every 3-5years...
Plus they make a ton more money on Apps on from the store in mobile.
It is all economics, they do not care about the pro user anymore because the pro user is not where they make money

- syshum 8y agoIncorrect, long term support is actually required because of the insane prices they want to charge and market saturation. Like with cars, the used market supports the selling of new devices. This is something Android manufacturers need to figure out.
- scarface74 8y agoIf long term support were “required” then why don’t the high end Android phones that cost just as much as iPhones get the same number of updates? But either way, that Apple updates phones for years contradicts the statement that Apple wants you to replace your phone every two years.
