My last two phones were Samsung Galaxys. Samsung only updates your phone for two years. I'm not about to have an internet connected device that doesn't get security updates any more, that just seems crazy to me. My new phone is an iPhone, which apple updates for five years.

3 years for Samsung flagship devices. 2 years for budget models.

I've also noticed Apple supports their devices for a long time. But does Apple guarantee that five years anywhere?

I just installed a security update on my S7 this week. The phone was released in March 2016, so we are nearing the 3 year mark.

I bought it a year after release and it was less than half the price of a similar iPhone.
