    That phone will also get updates. There’s a difference between updates by Samsung and updates of Google Play services delivered through Play Store which include the web renderer.

      But no security updates for the OS though which often means you kinda should think about to stop using it for more than an alarm clock, podcasts and spotify.

        Most crucial things are in Play Services anyway. I’m not saying that it’s no issue at all but it’s also far from as bad as some make it out to be.

      Doesn’t the article state specifically that it won’t? The iPhone 11 is like to get at least another two years of major OS upgrades, and further security updates after that.

      It’s nice that some Android manufacturers have promised to provide updates for their phones for a longer period, but it’s something iPhone users have been expecting for years already.
