Vivo V27
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until March 2026 · Buy-by March 2024
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the V27 should be supported until around March 2026. Buying it today still gets you about -0.3 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).
