This is not limited to Apple but would apply to all smartphone producers. I would even say that Apple has to be a lot less concerned (about the update rule at least) than manufacturers of Android phones. Those are outright terrible in that regard. The oldest iPhone model that will get the iOS 15 update will be the iPhone 6s and it was launched back in 2015 already.

- pjmlp 5y agoOn the early Android years I followed with interest what each Google IO brought. Nowadays I don't care. Android Java is still cherry picking whatever Google feels like, NDK offers enough for multimedia stuff and mobile Chrome brings enough updates for mobile Web, and most apps are anyway doable as Web sites. Most OS updates from last years seem just being updates for the sake of forcing everyone to update which APIs they are using on their apps anyway.

- Ballas 5y agoI agree that a new version of Android does not really do anything for me. I would however appreciate it if security patches make it to my phone.
