Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Edge 20 should be supported until around August 2024. Buying it today still gets you about -1.8 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Frequently asked questions

How long will the Motorola Edge 20 get updates?

Yes. Alongside its 108MP main and 16MP ultrawide cameras, it includes an 8MP telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom.
