OK replace 4 with 7 in my above comment. My mistake.

While there have been flagship phones that have received support for seven years, no other phone has been released with a legally binding up-front commitment to provide support for seven years.

It feels very misplaced to complain about obsolescence on a thread in that context.

I think my comment is not very misplaced given the original comment above in this comment chain.

As someone in a similar situation to other poster, I'm still annoyed at the choice between buying a new phone (with the financial and environmental consequences) or having to deal with the maybe I'm invisibly hacked maybe I'm not when all I want is security updates and/or a software that is built with enough safety to avoid zero-click exploits.

But yeah, this is a good news thread, thank you Google.
