The 5S is still the perfect iPhone.
How do you still have one that's running OK? My Apple products almost always "die" after a few years. I had the 5S but one day it crashed and would not turn back on no matter what I did. The iPhone I had before that did the same thing.

So use the last sale date for both. Your point makes no sense.
Galaxy S8 on sale at Walmart, Staples, and NewEgg. Likely falls off support in 3-4 months. So Android flagships are close to zero or even negative support time?

That sounds dangerous to me.

If only Google could put this much effort into supporting its own Pixel devices, which stop getting updates to the base OS after just three years.
I promise you, people inside google are equally frustrated with this unjustifiable top-down decision. (am Xoogler)

> The support for MacBooks is actually great. Certain Late 2013 and Mid 2014 Retina MacBook Pros, while considered vintage, will be receiving the Big Sur update. I think it's more likely that Apple's new frameworks don't require any fancy hardware features that aren't available in the Late 2013 MacBook Pros.

The 2010 and 2012 Mac Pros officially support Mojave with a compatible video card:

Does it matter? A full-chain zero-click remote complete compromise for either system is only $2-3 million. That is absolute chump change. 4-6% of households in the US [1], 5-8 million households, have sufficient assets to fully compromise every iPhone or Android in the world. If we consider businesses, I bet that is within the reach of no less than 50% of the businesses (including small businesses) in the US. That is…
If bad actors could derive $10 on average from 1MM phones, vulnerabilities would cost substantially more than $2-3MM.

You're going from a 5s to a Pro Max? That's almost a jump across product categories... like switching from an iPhone to an iPad Mini.
Or from a Commodore 64 to a first-generation iMac.

I know a google dev who says they wouldn't trust the security of an Android phone as far as they could throw it.
