    Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers.

    Which is completely meaningless when you can’t actually repair failed hardware.

    The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.

    What “standard” are you referring to? Both Samsung and Google have committed to 7 years at this point.

        From my research it appears to be all models but if you have evidence to the contrary, please do share.

          Do you have source that mention all Samsung models will be supported for 7 years? Everything I found so far seems to only mentioned their flagship devices and 4 years support for A, Note, Tab, etc models.

            No, I just don’t have a source that states otherwise. The exact statement from the “Galaxy Unpacked” event states “You will be able to use Galaxy devices safely and reliably for longer, because we plan to support 7 years of security updates and 7 generations of OS upgrades, starting with the Galaxy S24 series”.

              I hope it’s true because unlike google who only have a handful of pixel models, samsung actually has a lot of region-specific models that share the same model name but has different hardware depending on the region. Supporting all those permutation for 7 years seems too good to be true for me, especially for the low end ~$100 models, but one can only hope.

      Pretty much every smaller Android manufacturer only gives two years of updates. Google and Samsung are the biggest two, and it’s great that they’re giving longer support, but if you want to try another manufacturer (Asus, for example), you’re getting two years.

        Which is precisely why I do not and would not recommend buying anything that’s not a Pixel (Samsung’s come chock-full of unremovable bloatware).

        My question concerned the use of your word “standard”.
