Tecno Spark 30
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until September 2027 · Buy-by September 2025
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Spark 30 should be supported until around September 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 1.3 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
