You say that, meanwhile Apple is the benchmark in providing software updates and support for their devices. Just a few years ago, Android manufacturers were not even providing 2 years of updates.
Both are bad, Apple needs to stop the parts locking (like not being able to use all the features on a replaced screen without their approval), and Android companies have to be better about giving support for their phones.
Keep both accountable, let’s leave the console wars bs in 2008.
I agree, and I am not here trying to start some Apple vs Android war. My comparison was just to give some perspective on the competition.
The thing is, there is no one monolithic competition called “Android”, it’s a host of vendors and manufacturers that have agreed on a common operating system. You will see a great amount of variation between all the different Android OEMs, variation that also affects software support.
Yes but the android phone will still work fine for at least the next decade and all apps on the play store will still work on that phone for the next decade.
On apple, if you never update your phone, eventually you won’t be able to update or install apps because they require a version on iOS you’re not on. We don’t have this problem on android. Most android apps can run on Android 6 and up.
We are now on Android 14. 6 was a very long time ago…
