Find out how long any phone will last.
Every phone has an expiry date — the day its security updates stop. We track it, and tell you what each phone really costs per month of safe use.
1,013 phones · 25 brands · every end-of-support date verified and dated to the month
How we verify every date
Every support window is checked against the manufacturer's published policy (or, for Apple, its documented track record), labelled official or estimated, and dated to the month we last confirmed it. The analysis and verdicts are written by us — never auto-generated.
