if you bind the web browser to the system update you can have as long updates on Android as iOS. Considering how old devices get a washed down version of “updates” and everyone claiming that’s the holy grail of system support when google can push browser and security updates through Google Play Services. But keep repeating the only talking points you’ve ever known. You don’t have to wait for a system update for a browser vulnerability like a caveman on Google supported Android. And if Apple has to release the patch for the same vulnerability, it has to push a “system update”.
woo hoo, I had to use the Apple system update, Apple is the GOAT.
jeezus. 🤦♂️
Android by no means is perfect, is fragmented beyond control and Google is shit but these “consistent major updates” is apple fed bs. but you do you
Wow what a shit comment. It’s like you ignore things like API and feature updates across major releases that apps beyond the stock Apple ones get to take advantage of. Which again, are averaging 5 years of support.
Idgaf what OS someone uses. I love tech, I use a bit of everything. I fucking love Android and all the flexibility it gives me. Grow the fuck up.

And they do, quickly, and at worst it takes me 5 more minutes to reboot my phone. Meanwhile on the Pixel 6 Pro, my phone maybe couldn’t have called 911 for a week.
I was talking about iOS updates for things Apple doesn’t have de bundled from os updates. Since iOS updates are controlled by Apple and not carriers, it’s not similar to Android.
@phillaholic@ink if it takes a week for an update to get to you, you can blame your carrier for that. Google pushes updates very quickly to unlocked phones.
It’s a phone Google makes, with Software they make, a security vulnerability that Google discovered, which they alerted Google to 90 days before going public, a deadline they set, and I should blame AT&T for being responsible for this situation? Uh huh.
Meanwhile the carrier has nothing to do with anything iPhone related other than carrier settings.
@phillaholic carriers have to “approve” updates; Google, Samsung, or whoever is your vendor can’t actually push an update because the carrier must sign it with their key. Was it Google’s fault for the vuln? Yeah. Was it AT&T’s fault for your update to take 1 week longer to roll out to you? Yeah.
You see that as the carrier waiting too long, I see it as Google having 90 days and waiting until the last minute. Regardless, Google allowing a third party to handle is a defective design.
