Not really true. The Apple Watch series 3 was released 2017, so it got 4.5 - 5 years of support. I don't think that is bad. It will still work, it will just not get any more OS updates.
I sport an iPhone 6s. I guess it is unsupported from this year, but I have owned it since the December after it was launched. So it was supported for circa 6 years, give or take a few months. That was absolutely the longest any Apple iPhone was ever supported. Most get less (I want to say up to 4 years, but I have no actual figures to hand.) I'm not unhappy with the length it was supported to be honest. My previous phone was a Nexus 4 and that got way less, I don't think it was more then 3.
The length the Apple Watch series 3 was supported it perfectly acceptable, and I bet few bough outside of the last 2 years still have great battery life anyway.
- plorkyeran 4y agoThe relevant thing is how long they support it from when they stop selling a device, not from when they started selling a device. You can still buy a brand new series 3 Watch from Apple _today_. Those devices are getting zero years of support.
- hnaccount_rng 4y agoIn principle I strongly agree, but I have yet to find a single third party app that I want on my watch. And as long as the watch is still able to do notifications, pinging, podcasts and unlocking of my MacBook, I wouldn't consider this too bad. But let's see how this shakes out in practice
