That's ridiculous.

They should commit to providing updates to the phones forever.

I hope they don't, I don't want to pay for such a thing.

Given the US cell carriers move towards a leasing model for devices, I think there are many people who don't want to pay for updates to 5 year old devices. I don't like that move, I'd prefer to see people paying upfront for cheap devices, but I take it as a evidence that more people want new devices than want updates forever.
