Tecno Camon 30 Pro 5G
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until April 2027 · Buy-by April 2025
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Camon 30 Pro 5G should be supported until around April 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 0.8 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
