Yes they are, by refusing to release security updates for older models.

I don't want to buy a new phone, but likely will have to due to support ending so they can sell more high margin hardware.

The life cycle of Apple Phones for updates is 6 years. On Android, it’s about 2 - 6 years.

If you don’t like the terms, go with a Linux distro phone. There is choice now.

For Google it's been consistently 3 years lately.

Also Linux distro phones aren't practical ways to participate in society unfortunately.
