I guess it varies. We usually get new images every year or two on both satellite and street view. It's freaky to be "driving" on street view when the image set changes. It's like driving on a sunny day in May, and all of a sudden it's a cloudy day in October. Then turn around and go back, and it's May again.
You can look at all the older satellite images on Google Earth, but I think only on the desktop version.
