> choose to buy a 3 year old phone, you know that it will be officially supported for 3 less years, and should factor that into your (price)/(lifetime) calculation. I You don't know that since neither the period is known nor is its starting date. Also that's your own expectation, I don't buy that later customers should suffer more > I'm not sure how you interpreted the "iOS obsolescence program" then I interpret it as force-obsoleting well functioning devices via software limits. This interpretation does not depend on what Huawei is doing (by the way, another mistake in your comparison is that Apple sells premium devices and also has full control of both the software and hardware, which make it relatively easier to do better) you don't need any legislation to stop justifying it with faulty comparisons
