Didn't know that. That's basically 4 years. Basically all I need. Thank you

More than that, they’ve gone up to 6 years before with the iPhone 6s. It didn’t get iOS 16 this year, but it got iOS 15 last year and will continue to get security updates for as long as Apple wants to keep supporting it.

My iPad mini 2 (2013) stopped getting major iOS updates with iOS 12 (released 2018) and got regular security updates for years, and I even got a security update in August this year. Granted it was to fix a big vulnerability, but it’s almost 10 years old.

Even better, it's basically:

2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027

Based on Apple's track record, it'll be 5 years of updates.
And the updates come out right away when everyone else gets theirs, unlike with Android and different phones in different regions can wait many months longer than the lucky ones that get it first.
