That's funny, because that's pretty much what Apple announced yesterday at WWDC26. The update goes public in the Fall (typically mid-September) but anyone who really wants it now can get into the developer beta (free now; used to be $99/year) and install it today. There's a public beta that goes live in July and will trail the second or third developer beta.
What's interesting is that while Apple is supporting all their phones all the way back to the 2019 iPhone 11, Google and Samsung typically don't support phones more than a year or two. They talk a big game until it's time to deliver, then they just... don't. I think her 2022 Galaxy S22 last got an update last year? And now it's EOL. So what if an Android user has a phone that's more than a year or two old? (Point of fact, I have a 2019 Galaxy S10, and it still rocks. Hasn't seen an update in years but it still works.)
