> Case in point is iOS 14, which came out a few months ago and still supports the iPhone 6s, which came out in 2015.

When did five years become a massive time for support in general? For phones it is, but there are plenty of things with longer than 5 year support.

Windows supports devices for way longer than 5 years.

I don't like MS, but what they do right, they do right.

Yes windows is a bit of a stand out here, too.

Ubuntu LTS is 5 year support, RHEL is 10.

5 years is quite a long time for a phone, but nowhere near unheard of for PC's
