The iPhone 5 came out in 2012. How many Android phones have software updates 4-5 years on?

The iPhone has a longer support window than almost every Android phone. Samsung users get one major OS update for the lifetime of their device. iPhone 5 had four OS updates.

Anyway this is pretty good for iOS 11 and the next iPhone which will now be able to free up space on the A11 processor since it doesn't have to support 32 bit apps anymore. It helps Apple move forward with what their phones and tablets can do. Look at how powerful the iPhone 7 is over anything else on the market or the iPad Pro.
