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.

Apple averages around 6 years of major OS updates, but I think security patch support goes on for much longer than that.

edit: iPhone 5s from 2013 received an update this year

Meanwhile my parents' landline phone lasted for more than 30 years.
