                    Not getting spare parts is understandable but not even running 4.4 is such a low blow seeing big brand 2013 devices running 5.0 for years, and much newer through custom ROMs. Yeah, so much for longevity, couldn't even deliver on what non-long-living devices do.

                        Many 2012's iPhone 5 are still running around and they have just been updated to the latest iOS 10.3.3 released last week. If you want fair-trade, long-lasting and sustainable phone, get an iPhone. Apple also recycle every Apple product you turn in for free.

                              "device longevity as one of its primary goals"
                              "stopped developing the software upgrade to Android 4.4"

                              really?

                                    Ohh a total of 60,000 were sold, but yes the big question is how many of them in fact are still in use at this point. Well, probably not much, but who knows finally? Haha.
