Apples policy is 7 years according to the article.

  And Google's policy is 8 years. The 4 year number is apparently an average for devices currently in the field, which... I mean, if the number of devices is roughly stable, then the average device is indeed halfway through its life. (None of this is a defense of either; as I type this on a 12-year-old machine running a fully up-to-date Linux install, I have opinions on lifespans, I just want to compare, er, Apples to apples.)
