    I just ran across this very recent article:

    https://www.knowyourmobile.com/user-guides/how-long-does-apple-support-iphones-complete-update-list/

    A quotes:

    Longevity of iOS Updates ⏳:

    Apple offers 6-8 years of iOS updates, surpassing most Android phones.

    From new (iPhone 14, 15) to older models (iPhone 8, 6s), Apple’s
    support for iPhone is legendary, the industry-benchmark.

    In my many years of Android phones I received only one or two OS
    updates, and security updates a few times a year.

    My iPhone 14 was updated to v.18 yesterday. That's the second update in
    2 years.
