    From this date, manufacturers will have to provide operating system and security updates for every smartphone or tablet for five years after the end of sales.

    OS updates too? That’s interesting.

    I would’ve been fine with 2 years of security updates after 3 years of OS updates. OS updates do include security features but security updates are more important to the average consumer. Most people won’t know what version of Android they are on. Most people wouldn’t know if their 7 year old iPhone is no longer receiving updates.
