Don’t think many other companies are interested in making security updates for the iPhone 5s ^^/s
Joking aside, most android phones get, what.. 3 years of post launch software updates, maybe a couple years on top of that for security updates. It’s very wasteful by comparison

what do you mean? fixing security bugs is great, acting like Apple is the only company who does so is the (jerk-off miming) part

You missed the point entirely. The point is they provided a security update for a ten year old device. Who else does that?

As a 5s and 6s user, I’m pretty happy to hear this. These were the last Apple phones with a headphone jack, and I will use them until one of us dies.

I'm guessing it's bad enough and they have proof that it's causing serious issues, which is why they did it.

The problem is fucking Qualcomm they make some of the best mobile ARM processors but they rarely support their chipsets for more than 3 years if the device maker can’t get a CPU driver for the chipset than you aren’t getting updates period
