Realistically the best scenario will be 5 OS update and 7 security maintainance. (5 + 2)

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

That would basically match Apple for the realistic life of a phone. That being said, Apple did just release a security update for the 5s.

5 years of software update I think it's really fine, the phone battery will be down at that time and you'll need to replace it, maybe trading it for another phone will be much better.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Can't argue with that, although some people prefer to change the battery instead, which is also valid.
