    It’s hilarious how they market security updates as a limited time feature. These fuckers need to be regulated so badly.

      Software maintenance and updates cost money. Nobody reasonable would say you’re entitled to a lifetime of support for a piece of hardware you buy, unless you specifically pay for this service. The specific support lifetime that is cost-effective for the business and consumer depends on the product and the business, it’s not an easy target for regulation.

      7 years of security updates isn’t that bad for a phone.
