> Paying for the phone is not a viable way to pay for the OS. That incentives the phone maker to ditch OS updates for old phones.

Huh? That is Apple’s model, and iOS supports old hardware much longer than Android does.

We paid for the OS with commission fees from sales and IAP, that's what GP meant I think

If next phone prices go up (especially in EU) after this then maybe it is true?
