Right, no history of executing on this pinky promise.
And Apple has actually done better than 7 years of security updates (which is all Google is promising), they're approaching 7 years of OS support (though not every feature, for instance Apple AI does not work on older phones, which for me is a good thing because I'm tired of LLM nonsense). Someone put this table together:
https://iosref.com/ios https://iosref.com/ios
Devices sold in 2018 with iOS 12 are now on iOS 18, they've received 7 versions of iOS and all the security updates that come with them. And iOS 18 will get security updates for several more years so a decade of security updates is likely for those devices.

- microtonal 2y agoRight, no history of executing on this pinky promise. This is false. The 4a was released with a promise of three years of OS and security updates, which was exactly what they did. Only newer models have longer update promises.
