Apple has their faults but they historically have supported their devices for significantly longer than most Android phone manufacturers. Like I said in my last message, some of the Android phones I had only ever received one OS update and it was usually for an outdated version anyway.

    I didn't contradict that notion. Apple devices are supported for longer than Android. But, again, it is an attempt to hook new people into a subscription-adjacent model. The pressure and nagging to change to a new phone every two years is still there, and they also kill software support to devices that are still functional.
