Yeah exactly. It's surprising how many people don't check or care how long their device is being updated. Apple does a great job of supplying their devices with updates long-term.
If you stand there at the store with this year's iPhone; take the full price divided by how many years you plan to own/ use it. Then you realize it's actually relatively cheap.
iPhones have decent residual value as well. You should be able to recoup at least a third of the price after three years, if you look after it.
True, I bought an ipad more than 7 years ago to read because e-readers are too small for my liking.
I don't use it much anymore since I have an e-writer now, but it still receives updates regularly, whatever comes to my phone comes to it as well, it's impressive.
