    Apple has been doing 7 years of support for a while now since the XS and XR (i.e. since 2018). They get a lot of bad rep but they’ve been pretty impressive regarding software support.

    I’m eyeing up a Fairphone 5 for my new travel handset though (need something easily repaired by myself and that can take a beating) but I’m a little let down by only 5 years software support guaranteed. Fingers crossed it ends up more than 5 in reality - 2TB storage should mean it’ll be an amazing offline mapping device for years to come!

      Apple never really announced a commitment to supporting devices for 7 years though, it’s just something they happen to do
