The phone with the $1300 launch price is also obsolete, it hasn’t gotten a major Android version update since 13, released in 2022. The phone itself was released in 2021.
Apple also discontinued support for some older phones with their 2022 OS release. Namely, they dropped anything older than the iPhone 8, released in 2017. So the oldest Sony I to get a major OS version update in 2022 was made in 2021, the oldest iPhone was made in 2017.
By the way, this comes from someone who used to love Sony and still does. My Arc S was awesome, it was even designed in such a way that if you dropped it, nothing would happen generally (okay, the battery would fall out if you dropped from high enough). But they’ve really dropped the ball on software support.
That’s only half the story, too.
