WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PHONE STOPS GETTING UPDATES? Samsung Galaxy S10 vs iPhone 11 - From 2019 to 2027 This is a simple comparison of two phones that were released in the same year, 2019, and how their software support changed over time. 2019 - THE START The Samsung Galaxy S10 was released with Android 9 Pie. The iPhone 11 was released with iOS 13. Both phones were new, fast, and fully supported. 2020 - FIRST MAJOR UPDATE The Samsung Galaxy S10 received Android 10. The iPhone 11 received iOS 14. Both phones were still receiving new features. 2021 - SECOND MAJOR UPDATE The Samsung Galaxy S10 received Android 11. The iPhone 11 received iOS 15. At this point, both phones were still doing well. 2022 - THE TURNING POINT The Samsung Galaxy S10 received Android 12. This was its last major update. The iPhone 11 received iOS 16 and continued to receive updates. This is where the two phones started to go in different directions. 2023 TO 2024 - THE GAP GROWS The Samsung Galaxy S10 stopped receiving major updates after Android 12. It only received security patches until 2023, then support ended. The iPhone 11 continued with iOS 17 in 2023 and iOS 18 in 2024. 2025 TO 2026 - APPLE KEEPS GOING The iPhone 11 received iOS 26 in 2025 and iOS 27 in 2026. The Samsung Galaxy S10 remained on its last update from 2022. 2027 - THE FINAL QUESTION In 2027, the iPhone 11 is expected to reach the end of its support, with no new update. The Samsung Galaxy S10 can still be updated unofficially through custom software, which is software installed by users, not by Samsung. The iPhone cannot use custom software in the same way. THE LESSON Software support is very important when you buy a phone. A phone is not only about camera and design. It is also about how many years it will receive updates, new features, and security protection. The iPhone 11 received about 7 to 8 years of major updates from Apple. The Samsung Galaxy S10 received about 3 major updates from Samsung, then support ended. When you buy a phone, always ask: How many years of updates will this phone receive? Which phone did you use in 2019? Samsung or iPhone? Tell me in the comments. #Softwareupdate#samsung#apple#techtok#fyp - @sammyfx0_1
