Impossible to answer that.


Apple does not specify the amount of years a specific model will get updates as even they cannot know that directly.


Looking at other iPhones and there support life, one can expect anywhere between 5 and 7 years of software updates, with 1 or 2 more of security updates for the last main iOS version they support.


So assume anywhere between 2028 and 2030 before it stops getting any type of update.
