I do agree with you that Apple have done well to support this.

But also 2016 is only 6 years ago. It's not just Apple thing, but it really doesn't feel sustainable for us to keep write off our hardware every half a decade.

I do hope to see these numbers get bigger and bigger as the years go on.

I feel like expecting 6 years of updates out of the iPhone 4 would have been kind of ridiculous!

I can install a modern build of Linux on a 20 year old computer and expect it to work. Let's not pretend 6 years is some kind of miracle.

This is a discussion of vendor updates, not third party / community support.

I'm happy for your old computer running a distro of linux that still supports 32 bit processors, though.
