Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Zero 30 5G should be supported until around September 2026. Buying it today still gets you about 0.1 years of safe use, and Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years (verified June 2026).

Is the Zero 30 5G worth buying in 2026?

Not for long-term use — support ends in 1 months. Only buy it used, cheap, and knowingly.
