A device can be unsupported yet millions will still use it. The obsolescence business model needs to be legislated away.
For comparison, the Nexus 6P was released in the same year as the iPhone 6S. It last received a security update in 2018.

Should DEC still be releasing patches for the PDP-11? Apple is probably the better companies out there. Some Android devices (cheap tablets on aliexpress) don't even get a year of updates.
Still waiting for iOS and iPadOS security updates to 18 as per the tradition of supporting the past 2 generations of OSes rather than this sneaky rug-pull of trying to foist fugly 26 on users who don't want an unusable device. This sort of spurious patching and releasing token cheap devices is a form of gaslighting.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If only they had user replaceable batteries, or repairable devices

Apple is rapidly becoming the new Microsoft. I mean, Microsoft has fallen so much further, so I guess that just opened up a new gap in the shitty technology spectrum for Apple to descend to.
A security update for an eleven year old phone is pretty wild. For comparison, the Nexus 6P was released in the same year as the iPhone 6S. It last received a security update in 2018.
To be clear: the phone is from 2015, not the exploit chain. Related: https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/cor...
