The new Google and Samsung phones have been promised 7 years of updates, including major Android versions and features drops!
Mm-hm. And Apple has been doing this since the very early days.
Let’s see how these abandonware-loving companies pull this off, first. My work phone was promised three years of updates, and it’s still waiting for Android 12. Which came out in 2021. I doubt that it, much less Android 13 and 14, will ever end up on the device from a bog-standard update.
Actually apple doesn't provide any guarantee. They've historically supported their devices for a while, but if they choose to cut their support short, it's entirely within their rights.
are you using surface duo or what? lol
