An exciting Pixel 6 rumor said earlier this summer that Google might do something unheard of. The Pixel 6 phones will get at least five years of software updates, which is something no Android device can offer. It’s usually Apple that supports older hardware for long periods. The 2015 iPhone 6s running iOS 15 is the best example of that extended software support. Not all iOS 15 features will work on the iPhone 6s, but the handset will still get the same core experience. That’s not something Android phone users can say.
But if Germany’s new plan is fruitful, smartphone makers might be forced to support devices for as many as seven years. The new initiatives might only concern security updates, but that’s still a fantastic start. And the new German proposal isn’t only targeting Android. Apple would also have to deliver seven years of security updates to iPhone and iPad.
