Apple finally confirms how long it will support iPhones, and it's less than Samsung and Google


Apple has confirmed it will provide security updates for a minimum of five years since the iPhone 15 went on sale.

In contrast, its competitors Samsung and Google currently guarantee a minimum of seven years of security updates for their respective flagship devices. This regulation forces companies that manufacture, import, or distribute internet-capable products in the UK to comply with certain security requirements. Thus, Apple is affirming to the UK government that it will issue security updates for a minimum of five years from the launch date of the iPhone 15.
