From Newsgroup: comp.sys.mac.advocacy

Interestingly, two days ago Chris got a fact dead wrong, and I politely corrected Chris' mistake (with a reference cite, of course) yesterday.

Today, Chris casually mentioned that he got that fact wrong.

On the Android newsgroup, all we do is correct the facts, with references.

What do you think would have happened if Chris got that fact wrong here?

Actually it's not. Samsung (France) are doing the same. https://www.samsung.com/fr/smartphones/galaxy-s/

Which is going to be problematic for Samsung as the S24 is not covered by
their 7 year support guarantee.

Hi Chris,

As far as I'm aware, the first Samsung phones to receive the 7-year promise
of software support are the Galaxy S24 series (S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra).

My mistake the S24 were the first series to be covered by the 7 years of support. We'll see how well that turns out in reality...
