Although the iPhones might get updated for 5 years that does not make them fast.
Each update makes the older device slower which at a point it becomes unusable.
A 3 year old device just cant compare with the increase in features, how a newer device can.
But for Android, it all comes down to the provider. This has always been the issue.
I have a Nexus 6 running 7.1 and working just fine. I could use it for another year if i wanted but it does show signals of getting old.
People used to change iphone every year as they did with Android.
I believe that this is coming to an end and people will keep there phones longer as they become much more expensive (X:1100+, note8:1050, etc) and the increase in hardware is not that massive any more.
