Samsung escapes obligation to keep old phones patched

Re: Phone contracts

The issue here is that the contract is taken out with the carrier/mobile phone provider. Seldom is the contract with the manufacturer. It should be the carrier/provider's responsibility for the updates. If people stopped buying a particular brand from the carriers because of the lack of support maybe the carriers would apply pressure on the manufacturers.
