    Apple support and provide software updates for iPhones for 7 years. There’s plenty to hate about Apple but they’ve pretty much got the longest support for devices in the mobile industry.

    I’d love to know more vendors who support their devices for longer than 7 years.

          That was the old support standard. From this year onwards, new models will be supported for 8 years (5 year Android updates + 3 year security updates).

            Damn… that is nice! I do hope they get their battery life and camera in better shape, then they will be a real good alternative to most other phones.
