I'm not sure if it's the exact same thing Apple does. Apple is going to provide security updates for their phones for at least 5 years - https://www.securitywee

So does Samsung. 7 years even on their latest models. So it's exactly the same. But updates have nothing to do with repairability anyway. The problem is more with repair, of accidental damage and out of warranty damage. Both have extension plans but they're too expensive. > As for the parts replacement, that's something what can't be done overnight and there is a big room for improvement. Yes but both have been tooting their own horn for years and this and both make it as difficult and expensive as possible. Samsung by making only few parts available at high prices. Apple by only selling kits with tooling for a high price that you have to send back. And locking parts to specific phones. I think Apple is even worse than Samsung. Not just with repairability but also all the malicious compliance around sideloading.
