    Oh i see. Sorry. What I meant by “end of life” was when a manufacturer stops pushing software updates to it, either because they are no longer want to allocate an employee to take care of it, or they’ve decided its not possible to secure it anymore. For phones, that usually occurs after 3-7 years, depending on the manufacturer.

      Oh yeah, I dunno if they’re still supporting it in that way. I’m pretty sure they’ve released a new version of the product within the last few years so they might have stopped putting out firmware updates for the one I have. No idea honestly.
