We’ve actually never heard such an excuse from any other brand before and it just looks bad to back out of a promise made to your users. Sony did issue an official apology and confirmed that it would still oblige its promise of delivering four years of security patches for the 10 VI. We also got confirmation that no other Xperia models will be impacted.
