- RHSeeger 6y agoAs do iphone users, though it's less frequent for iphones because there's less variety in the hardware/system (so can be more thoroughly tested before release).
- fishtacos 6y agoI have no idea what OP is on about. If we're talking firmware updates, I've yet to have software stop working after a system update or upgrade. There have been random crashes that 9/10 times clear up on their own after a couple of reboots, or needed to clear cached data and resumed working afterwards, but no show stoppers and certainly no software incompatibilities after the update was applied. My most recent OS upgrade was on an LG phone with stock firmware (upgraded from Android 8 to 9). Flawless process, and this is on a phone that's gone several other updates and upgrades (biggest one was 8 to 8.1 as I recall) and has been in constant use for 2 years. Been an Android user since the Google Nexus One, which I got on release day as I recall. Weirdly enough, it's the LED trackball I miss the most.
- input_sh 6y agoAnecdotal of course, but so far I've gone through I'd say 6-7 major Android version upgrades with no issues. Switched from Nexus 5X to Android One phones (AKA stock Android experience, like Pixel but without its camera software), so I've gone through more major upgrades than most Android users. Next one is going to be a difficult decision, since it seems like one or two Android One phones were released in the last year or so. That doesn't make me optimistic about the Android One line, but I have close to two years before I have to worry about that.
