Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers.

Which is completely meaningless when you can’t actually repair failed hardware.

The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.

What “standard” are you referring to? Both Samsung and Google have committed to 7 years at this point.

Only on certain models.

From my research it appears to be all models but if you have evidence to the contrary, please do share.

Do you have source that mention all Samsung models will be supported for 7 years? Everything I found so far seems to only mentioned their flagship devices and 4 years support for A, Note, Tab, etc models.

Pretty much every smaller Android manufacturer only gives two years of updates. Google and Samsung are the biggest two, and it’s great that they’re giving longer support, but if you want to try another manufacturer (Asus, for example), you’re getting two years.

Which is precisely why I do not and would not recommend buying anything that’s not a Pixel (Samsung’s come chock-full of unremovable bloatware).

My question concerned the use of your word “standard”.
