helpImTrappedOnline , 24 days ago This isn't new at all. Apple has been consistent with long term updates for a while. iPhones have been getting at least 5 major annual updates sense the iPhone 4. The average is 6 updates. If anything, it gets to a point where the old hardware can barley handle the newer OS. This is the equivalent of them promising to be called Apple in 5 years - it changes absolutly nothing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history Edit: thinking about it, this gives them an excuse to reduce the number of years they support phones. Instead of 6-7, can we now expect that to become only 5 years? This could be a huge loss disguised as a win
