It's usually been about 4 years. Except this year the 4S is getting iOS 9 while most of us who have used iPhones for a while expected the 4S to be dropped from support.
6 & 6 Plus - released 9/2014
5S - released 9/2013
5 - released 9/2012
4S - released 7/2011 (I think)
So since the 4S will have support from 7/2011 to approximately 9/2016 or 5 years. If the 4S had been dropped, it would've had 4 years of iOS updates.
So the 6 or 6 Plus will be on the most recent iOS release until 2018 or 2019.
