2 years of updates means you’ll quickly end up with a phone that’s waiting to be hacked

Well it’s better but it’s still not enough imo.

People shouldn’t be left behind on security just because they don’t have the latest phone, 4 years isn’t long at all.

Now phones are powerful enough to last years, and could last even longer with replaceable batteries. This artificial limitation is anti-customer.

So yeah at least there should be an way to root and install custom ROMs, they may not want to support phones longer officially but they shouldn’t limit the user if they want to do it themselves.
