As a person with a nice income, an iPhone is a device that‘ll get security updates for 5-6 years. Meaning that I can just put away 30 bucks a month and get the replacement immediately. On Android I had to get a new one every 2-3 years to get consistent security updates. I switched to an iPhone X when it came out, now I have a 14 Pro and don’t to plan to get a new one anytime soon.
Samsung gives 7 years. Google gives 7 years as well. Your information is outdated.
It certainly is. The fold 2 released in late 2020 and that was when I stopped caring about tech and more about people not fucking up ther phone by sheer dumbness.
What? Samsung guarantees 7 years of security updates for most phones. Google does the same.
That's relatively new, they probably haven't looked in a while.
Since when do they do this? I switched in 2017 and back then 3 years was a luxury.
I think this comment highlights just why people still think iPhones are a status symbol. They don't know any better or even anything of the market but they are sure confident about it.
IPhone will get 5-6 years of updates, but Android phones from Google, Samsung, and some others will get 7 6 years. Somehow that means the iPhone is better?
What next, they will claim that iPhone is private and Apple doesn't spy on everything they do to sell them ads? Something that if they read Apple's privacy policy quickly would find out is also wrong. Or then claim it is somehow more private that Android which can actually block most of the adware spying with apps like DuckDuckGo which are officially on the Play Store?
The user had outdated information regarding the security updates. That was true around 2015, but in 2025 its not the case anymore, they just never got updated on the new info because they already jumped ship to Apple.
Wont mean the phone will make it tell then with the original battery :(
I recently got a Pixel 9, really hoping it will last the full 7 years
