Because chip manufacturers like Qualcomm don't support their hardware beyond a handful of years.
- fsflover 5y agoNo, it's because Qualcomm and co. don't provide specs and source code for the drivers/firmware.
- joemazerino 5y agoNot true. Qualcomm source code is available... For a cost ;)
- fsflover 5y agoAnd with NDA.
- anon19238481 5y agoI remember hearing that there's a "three year deal" between Qualcomm and OEM's. If they only support the device for three years, they get a mass discount on chips.
