Still Deciding?
Should I Switch?
How does software update support compare between iPhone and Android?
Update support differs by model and policy. Check the exact iPhone or Android device rather than assuming every phone of one operating system gets more updates.
What to do
- Find the manufacturer's security-update and OS-update commitment.
- Check the model's release date.
- Confirm updates for essential banking and work apps.
Limits and compatibility notes
Check this before relying on the answer
Manufacturer promises can distinguish OS version updates from security patches; avoid conflating them.
