It's even worse: based on "orange iPhone" they just bought an iPhone 17. So they'll skip the next two iPhones and be back in 2028? Sounds like a standard upgrade cycle.

Yeah I’m boycotting Apple for like 8 years at a time by this standard, I guess. Their hardware lasts a while.

I do wish I could get a “security patches only” update channel, though. Their declining software competency is visible and annoying.
