Phone software support, in numbers

Computed from every phone we track — not from press releases. Reuse these numbers freely with a link to this page (methodology, raw data).

61 phone models have already reached their end of support in 2026.

How brands compare

Average support lifespan = time between a model's release and its security-update end date, averaged over all of that brand's tracked phones with published dates. Brands with fewer than 5 tracked phones are excluded.

Apple announces no end dates in advance, so its average only covers models whose updates have already stopped. For the others it publishes a minimum (5 years, declared in the UK), which the methodology explains.
