According to my reading, HN is full of complaints about new phones (and everything else, e.g. washing machines) being built with “planned obsolescence” as a goal, and praise for Apple for being by far the best in supporting old devices (but of course they could still improve!)

FWIW the iPhone 5s from Fall 2013 is still receiving regular security updates.

Planned obsolescence goes beyond whether phone software gets updated or not. It covers changing designs so that you can tell one generation from another, so that there is social pressure to upgrade despite the phone working fine.
