This is a decent example of what folks are talking about in terms of supported lifespan. Your Note 8 was EOL'd in October 2021. It came out in September of 2017. That's four years of support.
My iPhone came out around the same time and Apple is planning to support devices several generations older than mine with iOS 16...
- ddingus 5y agoI am very likely to use this phone another three years. Just saying. Otherwise, yeah! My wife has an older iPhone still nicely supported, and older than my Note. My last Mac was a 2012 i7. I used it 6, 7 years? It is still useful, but got coke on keyboard! I fixed it myself last time. Not doing it again.

- ddingus 5y agoDepends on how one uses the phone for starters. I may ditch it, I may not.
