Now this is nice. Hopefully 3rd party manufacturers can also provide a longer life span for the device.

    I don’t really know all the differences but phone OS upgrades need firmware updates as well, which will delay a lot of OS releases and cause old hardware to no longer have security support. I don’t think the OS layer is completely separate like it is with desktop computers.

      I can understand that part, but not why providing such update timeline would be “excessive” or “crazy”, if there are ways to achieve it.
