This update is available to iPhones from the 5S and newer. The 5S was released in 2013. If your phone is older than that, it's a bit older than "not brand new".

  I think the point is that he has an Android, but he can't update, while Apple users can.

    If he bought an Android it's because he doesn't care about the security of his phone. Not trying to be snarky; Android has been around for over 10 years and we all know how irresponsible all OEMs are, including Google. He had the information when he made his purchase.

      Or alternately, you buy from Google, keep up with OS upgrades, and plan on buying a new phone every 2-3 years or so. While not ideal, this is certainly doable.

        So the only way that you can get an Android phone with any type of security is by buying one from Google. So much for Andy Rubin and his promise of openness and choices...

          Motorola is pretty good too. Maybe others?

          The other alternative is also locked into one company.

He had the information when he made his purchase. I care about the security of my devices and I don't want to pay the Apple tax (that is really absurd in Brazil; even with my quite good engineering salary it is still half of one month of work). I always buy supported devices and have monthly security updates on my Android One device.
