Oppo Reno 8
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until July 2026 · Buy-by July 2024
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the Reno 8 should be supported until around July 2026. Buying it today still gets you about 0.1 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
