Apple has committed to a minimum of five years of iPhone security software updates from the date a device is launched, though that’s less than Samsung nd Google, reports Android Authority. This is the first time that Apple has ever committed to a minimum length of software support for an iPhone. In contrast, its competitors Samsung and Google currently guarantee a minimum of seven years of security updates for their respective flagship devices. Since iPhones are Internet-capable products, Apple is required to comply with the UK’s Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) regulation that forces companies that manufacture, import, or distribute internet-capable products in the UK to comply with certain security requirements, notes Android Authority. Apple recently published its compliance statement for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, revealing that its “defined support period” is a “minimum five years from the first supply date.” The “first supply date” is listed as September 22, 2023, which is when the iPhone 15 series went on sale.

The iPhone 15 series is enjoying more popularity than the iPhone 14 in Korea, “bucking the lukewarm sales trend in neighboring countries such as China and Japan,” reports The Korea Herald.

Sales of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max jumped 41.9% in the first month of its official release in Korea on Oct. 13, compared to that of the iPhone 14 series from a year prior, according to market tracker Atlas Research and Consulting.

Sales of the smaller and cheaper iPhone 15, in particular, more than doubled during the same period, while the highest-priced iPhone 15 Pro Max saw a 42.3% growth in sales. The iPhone 15 Pro made up almost 50 % of the sales portion, followed by the iPhone 15 with 30.7%, notes the Korea Herald.
