> It isn't as simple as just saying "the iPhone SE still gets updates!", context is important

Nah, it's that simple. iPhone SE got major OS updates and security updates. Yes a few features are not available (mostly camera related), but most of them are. iPhone software update adds longevity to devices that Android devices can only dream about.

I explained this pretty well in my post, but you are incorrect. Apple does not ship all new features of the OS for older phones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9mBPyaA4L4

Android ships many new features via libraries, so older devices are able to use new APIs generally.

It isn't as simple as your comment claims.
