While I understand that you wish to live in the past, most phones sold
today are Android, and most Android phones are Samsung phones, and the new
Samsung phones are supported for seven years and seven releases.

 
Like I've said, let's see how that pans out. Samsung haven't supported
anything for longer than about three years so we have four years to wait to
see what caveats or changes they make to that claim. Which is what I
suspect they'll do.

 
You clearly don't understand that all common consumer operating systems
except those from Apple are supported in independent layers

What does that mean (to you)? I already explained to you the different
support models of several more OSes.

some of which
are fully supported forever (in that there is no EOL date).

Lol.

By way of stark contrast, when iOS 18 ships, the entire iOS monolith dies.
Meaning you should throw an iPhone X & older phone over the next bridge.
 
   iPhone X support === Windows XP support

Returns:
  false

Apple is on record for five years.

 
Plus a history for the last 10 years of supporting all their phones for
five years or more.

 
There is no difference between Windows XP & the iPhone X when iOS 18 ships.

I worry if you genuinely believe that.
