Honor 70
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until August 2025 · Buy-by August 2023
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the 70 should be supported until around August 2025. Buying it today still gets you about -0.9 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
