Committing to 7 years is a big step! Apple does't commit to its support timeline at all and seems to average around 6 years, so this is more firm and also longer.

I would like to see Apple respond by committing to their timeframe but they won't.

Hasn't Apple been doing this for years? The difference between 6 and 7 years is hardly a line in the sand, especially considering the quality issues the Pixel has had.

The point is that Apple makes no public commitment about how long any particular iPhone model will be supported for.

Some of the models in the range have had relatively longer or shorter periods of support.

An iPhone 5 got less than a 5S. An iPhone 6 got less than a 6S.
