Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~2-year update track record — on that basis the Hot 60i 4G should be supported until around July 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 1.0 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Our verdict

A ~$110 entry phone with surprising 45W charging and an IP64 rating, with estimated support to 2027.

Pros

  • Fast 45W charging and a 5160mAh battery are rare at this entry price
  • IP64 splash resistance plus NFC, both uncommon under $120
  • Security updates estimated to about 2027

Cons

  • Only a 720p HD+ LCD, not Full HD or AMOLED
  • Helio G81 and 188g weight make it basic and a bit heavy
