The iPhone 5s from 2013 just got a security update in July of this year.
But if you care about how long the vendor supports your phone, you really should get an Android phone. I’m sure you will be delighted about how long they support their phones.
- somebehemoth 4y agoThat’s nice. The article and most comments are about mac os. Snarky android comment is misplaced.
- scarface74 4y agoFrom the parent comment > Sort of agrees with my own opinion, that your use of Macs and iPhones
- somebehemoth 4y agoI read that too. Parent went off topic for 1 word. Your entire comment is off topic. Do you have any thoughts on mac os you would like to share since that is the topic of the post?
- scarface74 4y agoWell, last time I checked, now Macs and iPhones are based on the same processor and many of the frameworks. Every time that Apple has done a processor change, it did drop the old ones faster. Arm Macs are step change from x86. Given a choice between being on the Mac platform where Apple has moved fast to introduce better technology and being stuck on hot, loud, relatively slow battery hogging x86 PCs. I’ll take the former.

You can root for LineageOS or other custom ROMs, but then you lose Netflix and whatever because Android uses stupid trusted execution crap for DRM.

- howinteresting 4y agoThe iPhone 5s got a security update to Safari. Android phones get updates to Chrome and the WebView component for many years past EOL as well.
