Here’s how long Apple supports older iPhone models

The iPhone 5s got six years of yearly iOS updates before it was cut off.

There are multiple reasons why the iPhone is so popular among smartphones users—sleek design, cutting-edge camera, or Apple's robust marketing—but the one reason that continually stands out, particularly because it's a great measuring stick against Android, is the constant software updates.

When Apple introduces an iPhone, customers who buy one of these new devices are guaranteed upwards of four years of major iOS updates, if not more. That number has only increased with the latter iPhones released, shows data from Statista.
