Q: How long after release does Apple still provide "security updates"?
A: It's a *lot* shorter than you think...
 
Note that people "think" Apple supports releases far longer than facts show
since these dates are the *longest* possible support lengths we can get.

The length of support of individual versions of iOS is meaningless. 
What counts is how long is the iPhone/iPad supported.  It is MUCH longer
than ANY Android vendor.

For example, the iPad Air 2 was released on October 16, 2014.  On that
date it came with iOS 8.1.   It has received 2 updates this year.  
15.8.6 on 1/26/2026 and 15.8.7 on 3/11/2026.  That is 11.5 years (and
counting) of support and 7+ (and counting) versions of iOS.

Any more questions about Apple's legendary support?

His trolls are so fucking weak it's pathetic.
