| Apple continuing to support iOS 12 is a good sign for the future of device longevity Posted: 01 Aug 2020 03:07 PM PDT Apple is already known to support their iOS and iPadOS devices for significantly longer than their Android counterparts. Ever since the iPhone 4S, released in 2011, every single iPhone has received at least 5 years of brand new iOS version updates. The 4S went from iOS 4 to iOS 9, the 5 from iOS 5 to iOS 10, and the iPhone 5S and 6 went all the way to iOS 12. Conversely, the standard for most of Apple's competition is just two years of version updates and maybe another of security fixes. However, throughout 2019 and 2020, Apple has also begun to do something unprecedented that could be significant in terms of iOS device longevity. Historically, once an iPhone is set to not receive the new version of iOS, it has stopped receiving updates, security or otherwise, altogether. The iPhone 4 was given iOS 7.1.2 on June 30, 2014, and then once iOS 8 came out, it never saw another update. Once or twice, Apple has pushed out a new version of an older iOS release to fix a glaring problem, like iOS 10.3.4 for the iPhone 5 to address a time rollover issue - but no other security fixes. However, iOS 12 has changed that for the better. Over the course of 2019 and 2020, devices dropped from support of iOS 13 have routinely received new security updates, from iOS 12.4.2 to most recently 12.4.8. What this means is that Apple is still supporting the iPhone 5S, a device released in 2013, after seven years. Apple does something similar with macOS - even though the most recent version is Catalina, macOS High Sierra and Mojave still receive security updates. This means that even when a device can't update to the latest version of macOS, it still gets an additional two years of life support. To see this treatment move over to iOS and iPadOS is excellent news for those of us who like to hold onto our devices for a very long time. Perhaps in the future, Apple will also allow us to stay on older versions of iOS and still receive security updates even if our device supports the newest software, simply to have that flexibility.
