They have to offer something - iOS is an inferior operating system so they 'bribe' you (lure?) with "No Spy! Cool updates!"
How many people do you know of who have iphones for 5 year?? Everyone I know who gets iphones gets a new one at 2 years, minimum.
The five year shit is for the secondary market. So that's where your average consumer fits in, cost wise, since most people don't need to take out a loan (err payment plan) to afford either a 2-3 year used iphone or a new mid-low range android.
I bought this 6s in 2015 and I appreciate the fact that this device that cost more than my laptop is still getting updates. You may be happy with something costing £800 being abandoned by the manufacturer after 18 months but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect them to continue to support their products for longer.

Why would anyone want OS updates for 5 years and no Google watching your every move?
