Motorola Edge 40
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until May 2027 · Buy-by May 2025
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the Edge 40 should be supported until around May 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 0.9 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
