VERIFIED BRAND POLICY
Apple software support: models, dates and policy
For covered iPhone models, Apple's UK PSTI statements define a minimum security-support period. DevLifeCheck keeps this minimum separate from actual OS compatibility and from the evidence for iPad and other Apple categories.

A minimum period is not a predicted final update date. Apple can continue security or OS releases beyond the date shown.

Common questions
Is the support end date guaranteed?
It reflects the cited policy and review date. Manufacturers can extend support, and rollout timing may vary by region, carrier and exact model.
Does a supported phone have no security risk?
No. A published update window means fixes are still expected; it does not guarantee that every vulnerability has already been fixed.
Why is a date labelled policy-derived?
The manufacturer published a duration, such as seven years, and DevLifeCheck calculated the displayed month from the documented availability date.
Apple software update lists
Check major-version eligibility separately from security-support dates. Every list distinguishes official announcements, schedules, beta and policy expectations.
