Vivo iQOO Neo 9 Pro
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until February 2027 · Buy-by February 2025
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the iQOO Neo 9 Pro should be supported until around February 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 0.7 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
