I wonder if I am alone in thinking 5yr is way too short. It should be 10, if not 20 years. This is software, not hardware. It is ridiculous to pretend it is ok

This is software, not hardware. It is ridiculous to pretend it is ok for a phone to artificially stop being useful after just 5 years simply because the vendor won't give software support or even provide the necessary documentation, source code and keys for the community to do.
- jabl 1y agoI agree with you, but still, 5y is better than nothing.
- jacek 1y agoTrue, longer would be better. And if the platform was truly open, we could just treat phone like PCs. You can still install Linux on a 20 year old machine and it will work. At least this is 5 years from "the end of placement on the market". So more realistically it should be around 7 years from release.
- palata 1y agoThis. Why can't we enforce that they mainline their hardware?
