> Case in point is iOS 14, which came out a few months ago and still supports the iPhone 6s, which came out in 2015. When did five years become a massive time for support in general? For phones it is, but there are plenty of things with longer than 5 year support.

  Windows supports devices for way longer than 5 years. I don't like MS, but what they do right, they do right.

    Yes windows is a bit of a stand out here, too.

      Ubuntu LTS is 5 year support, RHEL is 10. 5 years is quite a long time for a phone, but nowhere near unheard of for PC's
