That means yet another generation of perfectly viable devices thrown into landfills because planned obsolescence and Must Have New Thing mental conditioning.
What do you mean obsolete? People who buy new phone every year will buy new one regardless of is it iPhone or Android.
iPhones actually last longer, especially flagship models. My iPhone 5s (2013) was with me for 7 years and still in use by my relatives. It got around 6 years of iOS updates. Even my low-end iPhone SE (2 gen) from 2020 runs perfectly and still gets latest iOS.
Everyone knows iPhones last longer than regular Androids. I mean obsolete because Apple decides, conveniently, when they need to appear as obsolete, or when you start using an unsupported device, even if it’s perfectly useful and performant. To those people buying one phone each year I don’t know what to tell you, I don’t imagine they have a clue about what planet they live on.

More like thrown into my hand, buy 2nd hand phones folks and tell your friends to too. It’s more economical and ecological.
Even 2nd hand, these devices are overpriced and still soon-to-be obsolete.
