I think he was referring to the fact that many Android phones don't receive updates after the first few months, whereas iPhones are typically receiving updates at least 2 years after release.

Fair enough. I assumed he was talking about being obsolete hardware wise.

I'll agree that Android updates aren't exactly timely, but saying they're abandoned completely after a few months is a bit unfair.
