How is supporting 6+ year old devices planned obsolescence? iOS 15 supports[0] devices as old as the iPhone 6s (released September 2015), the iPad Air 2 (October 2014), iPad mini 4th gen (September 2015), and the 1st gen iPad Pro (November 2015). Could Apple do better about opening up the devices (especially after support ends)? Sure. But they're doing a hell of a lot better than Android manufacturers where "two years of updates" is a marketing bullet point. A $1000 Samsung S20 (released March 2020) will only get Android 10, 11, and 12.[1] [0]: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/supported-models-iphe3fa5df43/ios https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/supported-models-iphe... and https://3nions.com/list-of-ios-15-supported-devices/ https://3nions.com/list-of-ios-15-supported-devices/ [1]: https://9to5google.com/2020/03/03/samsung-galaxy-s20-android-updates/ https://9to5google.com/2020/03/03/samsung-galaxy-s20-android...
