I mean, it's worse on Android. I have a Pixel 4, and it stopped even receiving security updates this past October, at the ripe old age of three years old.

Fortunately I can still run all the apps I want to run, everything works, and performance is good, but I don't imagine that will still be the case if I try to keep using it another three years. And that's ignoring the fact that no new security issues will get patched, and I won't get any new OS-level features.

I've accepted this, and will likely reluctantly buy a Pixel 7a when it's released, even if that phone is even larger and more unwieldy than my Pixel 4, and has the ridiculously-ugly camera bar on the back.
