If you ask me, we’re well past the point where companies should be getting a free pass on this, especially when there’s already a big example out there of how to do software updates right.Īpple, for all the – sometimes justified – criticisms of its pricing, keeps offering updates to iPhones long after they launch. Not when other expensive tech like computers and TVs can last way longer.Īnd sure, many smartphones are actually quite cheap these days, but they’re still not exactly sold at pocket money prices, and some such phones will only get one major update if they get any at all. Top-end Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and Sony Xperia 1 III cost upwards of $1,000/£1,000/AU$1,800, so the least I’d expect is that we shouldn’t feel the need to replace them two or three years down the line. The Xperia 1 III is a pricey phone, but there's no guarantee of lengthy support (Image credit: TechRadar)
