alt Hacker NewsA security update for an eleven year old phone is pretty wild.
For comparison, the Nexus 6P was released in the same year as the iPhone 6S. It last received a security update in 2018.

This is a very odd take.
Apple decided to not patch a couple of iphones and ipads a few years ago. 6s was the oldest one at that time but even that was still within the update window.
The fact that they now have to patch them 3-4 year after the discovery because Google found them to be targeted in the wild should not be presented as a win for Apple.
Only 3 years of security updates for a computer we use every day is criminal. It shouldn’t be shocking that Apple kept patching but rather that Google hasn’t.
