OnePlus 6 support period

I’ve been using /e/ on my OnePlus 6 for a while now. Support for this model ended a long time ago from the manufacturer, so /e/ has been a blessing. I was wondering how long /e/ plans to support this model, as I wasn’t able to find any official figures. Also not being a developer myself, I am sort of curious what resources it takes to provide support for such a long time, and why the manufacturers only promise 2-3 years. Well I’ve heard about them intentionally doing it so that you buy new phones, but is it really that simple?

Well the vendor patches are not updated anymore I guess :thinking::thinking: but everything else gets updated.

No one can tell you what lies in the future you can only take an estimate by comparing the other old devices. My Pixel 4a is from 2020 I think and I still get updates.

And yeah I am sure it is better for companies so sell you a new device rather than selling parts and doing software updates, etc. In there is more profit and they would surely not do something reasonable without big profits.
