Just checked the wikipedia page today and it says that it’s “Unsupported”.

When did that happened, isn’t it currently the most used Android version?

    As far as I know, google doesn’t have an official policy on how long they provide security updates, but it has pretty consistently been 3 years after release.

    The only reason old versions are still in use is that most vendors release a phone, give it the bare minimum number of updates, then abandon it when next years shiny new model comes out.

      Meanwhile, in 2023, iPhones from 2018 still get the latest iOS. And iPhones from 2015 are still getting security patches.
