   Bullshit. Google & Samsung have been five years published for a while.   
      
   Plus that includes *multiple* releases (whereas Apple only fully supports a   
   single release - all other consumer operating systems fully support   
   multiple releases).   
      
   Plus Google has been updating *all Android phones* with Android 10 and   
   above over the Internet for the two dozen core operating system modules.   
      
   That has no known EOL date so as far as we know it goes on forever   
   (especially as every one of those modules is donated to the AOSP).   
      
   No matter how you look at it, Apple has the worst operating system support   
   in the industry - which you are desperate to try to deny - but you can't.

   Samsung and Google make most of the Android phones out there, so their   
   policy is the one that matters the most to the Android community.   
      
   Apple has never had a published operating system support policy, and only   
   recently, when forced to by the EU, did Apple publish that they'll only   
   promise five years and a single release of iOS support.   
      
   Again, the worst in the industry.

   Bullshit. Android has been fully supporting over two dozen core operating   
   system modules since Android 10 - which is billions of Android phones.   
      
   The fact you know none of this and yet you dispute that Apple has the worst   
   operating system support in the industry - shows how much of a religious   
   fundamentalist zealot wacko you are - since no facts are employed when you   
   formed your strongly held purely religious belief system about Apple   
   support.   
      
   There's a reason the iPhone is the most exploited smartphone in history.
