It really depends on what support you need - yes, the latest and greatest bling is dropped soon, but Samsung offers 4 years of security updates - that's quite a bit of time. You'll probably have a really bad battery by that point and it's probably worth an upgrade. You won't have all the latest and greatest OS bling, but you wouldn't have the latest and greatest anything but that point, and that's probably OK.

Apple released a bug fix update last June for phones back to the 2011 iPhone 4s.....

I don’t understand; bad battery = phone replacement.

Bad battery = battery replacement

Particularly so when you consider the environmental impact of new battery compared to new phone + new battery. The difference in price for the consumer does not reflect the true costs.

Security updates that get released months after its supposed to?

Does this apply to all Samsung phones or just flagships?
