>after just three years

The 5S was sold from Apple stores in India in mid 2017. So that's 3 years of updates from end-of-sale and this is an OS update for a 2 year old OS. So two years of support. Less than the Pixel.



When someone buy a 5S in 2017 they surely know already, or should, that it is a cheap buy to last less than a newer model. So 3 years in this case is actually a great deal.


I had a Pixel 1, launched in 2016, and it lost support in 2019. 3 years after start of sale, not end of sale.

It's part of why I went back to Apple.
