Apple released updates for all iOS devices back to the iPhone 5s, that phone is more than 12 years old and is still getting security updates.

I’m on the iPhone X and trying to buy European for my next phone, especially with Tim Apple sucking up to Trump, but 12 years of security updates is impressive commitment.

Not security updates; itagv2 and bug fixes for 18 and 26, and certificate updates for 12 and 15 to keep stuff that requires an Apple ID functioning post-2026..

This changes things, do you know of somewhere where the exact contents is released/discussed?

The official Apple release pages have some general details, and there’s a writeup on Ars Technica tha’s based off of Apple’s published info.
