The iPhone SE is the smallest smartphone that gets security updates, of any platform. (And in 2010 or so it would have been bigger than any smartphone not being called a "phablet," so it's not so much that it's small as that it's the only reasonable-sized phone left in many people's opinions.)
If Apple's historical support practice keeps up, it'll remain in support until late 2020 or 2021.

- geofft 8y agoOh, it appears that it does, it's just worse hardware than the SE in the same form factor, and is actually discontinued. I'm actually pretty surprised - that now means that the iPhone 5S has now gotten software updates for 5.5 years, which I think is a record.
- captn3m0 8y agoI really hope Apple supports it beyond that, especially if they don’t launch a alternative in the interim. It certainly has a lot of compute to support future iOS releases.
