Don't Apple have a better track record for longevity of support compared to their competitors?

  Not all competitors. GNU/Linux phones will have lifetime updates (since they run mainline Linux).

    I can only hope you’re joking. Those are not real competition to the iPhone in any meaningful way.

      They are, in the long term and, for now, in a niche audience.
      • Klonoar 2y ago
        The long term is, until proven otherwise, not a talking point. A "niche audience" is inflating the point.

            Ah, right. The environment that's barely made a dent from the consumer/non-dev market in 20+ years of existence.

              Try to compete when no single shop allows to buy a machine with preinstalled Linux. Even then, Linux has 4% of market or so.
