I don't see the 2020 SE getting software upgrades for much longer, it's already the bottom of the barrel for iOS17, so I guess you're OK to forgo those for a while ?
If your phone needs are low enough you can get by with the SE in 2026, buying a Gakaxy A series today would totally fit the bill, and you probably could get one new at the same price and way cheaper used.
- scarface_74 3y agoThe iPhone 5s from 2013 got a security update earlier this year..
- makeitdouble 3y agoFair point. Super critical security updates could go on, while official OS support is dead. To note, iOS doesn't allow alternative browsers so Safari will also be stuck in time and there will be no option to get any modern engine on the device (I'm not even sure you could get one through jailbreaking, that would be a lot of porting efforts for virtually no one on the market) I resurrected a third gen iPad a few weeks ago for no reason, and the most interesting part was it couldn't get past Cloudflare's browser check, so couldn't even see some of simpler and primitive sites on the web.
- ghaff 3y agoMacs are pretty much in the same boat. I have a couple 2015 models. Can’t get the latest major OS update. But they get updates and I expect I’ll be able to continue using them as primarily browsers for quite some time.
- paulmd 3y agoiPhone 8+ is only just falling off the OS update wagon now, and that’s a 2017 phone. Security updates will go on for another few years beyond that. The SE 2020 is in no danger of falling off OS updates anytime soon let alone security.
