iPhone 3GS users had 4 years and 8 months of updates before they were stopped.
iPhone 4 users have had almost 4 years of updates so far, which is 3 major versions or about 29 updates if you include minor ones.
- tonylemesmer 12y agoTrue. Whilst the updates undoubtedly add features and maintain compatibility they also worsen the overall experience. iPhone 4 is atrocious on iOS 7.
- paulrov 12y agoNowhere near as bad as iOS4 (which added absolutely nothing to the phone in question) was on the iPhone 3G
- fpgeek 12y agoOn the other hand, for the launch price of an iPhone you could get 5 Moto Es. Even if they're only supported for a year, that's 5 device-years of updates ;)
- rythie 12y agoJust because the Moto E is cheap doesn't mean that people aren't expecting to keep it for 3-4 years. $129 is still a lot of money to most people in the world - particularly where they are targetting this.
