That's false, 2020 was the last year one was introduced - not phased out Some resellers still have them in inventory, at least I came upon one a few weeks ago.

That makes it a 3 yrs EOL situation. Pretty terrible considering the prices of these devices.
At least the notorious Chromebooks were sold super cheaply (notorious for their non-existent update policies) - not the case here
They were also still being sold by Apple the last time I bought a MacBook pro, which was around 2022 iirc
- fragmede 1y ago> ChromeOS devices receive 10 years of updates. https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en
- ffsm8 1y agoYeah, that's post the controversy. Initially the vendors were expected to provide the updates... who obviously couldn't be arsed, so they set it to something around 1-3 yrs, which frequently went to 0 because the devices weren't sold quickly enough. That's from back when ChromeOS was initially put on the market, something around 2012-2015 Google thankfully relented and took up the maintenance burden, which ended with this policy
- goosedragons 1y agoYeah, the 2018 Mac Mini was sold into 2023 and isn't even getting macOS 26.
