Comment on These repairable phones still aren't built to last
corbin@infosec.pub 3 months agoEven if official support isn’t possible past a certain point (Google and Samsung are pushing 7+ years, fwiw), all phones need to have a bootloader unlock mechanism for unofficial support past that point. LineageOS or mobile Linux with some broken functionality is still better than nothing.

No question. All I’m saying is it’s not feasible or truthful for the device OEM to claim they can support longer than the SoC vendor supports the proprietary SoC bits.
