Software update support plays a significant role in keeping the phone as long as possible while also guaranteeing plenty of enhancements within the overall system security to offer a secure software experience to the users. Meanwhile, Google and Samsung have set a trademark by becoming the Android manufacturers with the best software update support for their high-end models. However, the case is entirely opposite when it comes to Apple.
For years, Apple has been considered the smartphone brand that is consistent about providing fresh updates to its iPhones for a long period of time; however, the company has never made any specific commitment regarding the update guarantee period for its iPhones. Considering that, Google and Samsung are far ahead when it comes to providing software update support along with a specific guarantee period for their entire smartphone lineup.
Google and Samsung have the best software update support as of now
Though Apple has never made any public statement regarding the software support for its iPhones, which could be at least five years of software update support from the delivery date of each iPhone, Still, Apple lags far behind Google and Samsung, who have already started providing a seven-year software support commitment to their top-end flagship models. Thus, Apple should make a public enclosure that consists of an update guarantee period for its iPhones to stop making the situation worse.
Moreover, besides Google, Samsung has always stood up to its promise and has offered an update guarantee period for its entire Galaxy lineup. In contrast, Apple has to face some criticism due to its approach and not showing transparency towards its iPhone consumers, as they have the right to know about the software update period along with security support before making a purchase of their desired iPhone.
