Realme GT Neo 6
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until May 2028 · Buy-by May 2026
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the GT Neo 6 should be supported until around May 2028. Buying it today still gets you about 1.9 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
