There's no evidence that those phones will support indefinite updates, and plenty of reason to think that they won't.

  Running mainline kernel pretty much guarantees lifetime support. It does not matter whether the companies who made the smartphones will exist. My 12-year laptop works fine with latest Debian. https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Frequently-Asked-Questions#311-how-can-purism-provide-lifetime-software-updates-for-the-librem-5 https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Freque...

    No, it doesn't Linux has dropped plenty of obsolete hardware over time. Things like AGP, 386 processors and many others

      If my phone gets a lifetime as long as the 386 got, I will be perfectly happy with it.
