- dmitrygr 6y agoI promise you, people inside google are equally frustrated with this unjustifiable top-down decision. (am Xoogler)
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoI know a google dev who says they wouldn't trust the security of an Android phone as far as they could throw it.
- silly-silly 6y agoI know an apple dev who thinks the same about their product, lol.

- Dahoon 6y ago>after just three years The 5S was sold from Apple stores in India in mid 2017. So that's 3 years of updates from end-of-sale and this is an OS update for a 2 year old OS. So two years of support. Less than the Pixel.
- irae 6y agoWhen someone buy a 5S in 2017 they surely know already, or should, that it is a cheap buy to last less than a newer model. So 3 years in this case is actually a great deal.
- majormajor 6y agoI had a Pixel 1, launched in 2016, and it lost support in 2019. 3 years after start of sale, not end of sale. It's part of why I went back to Apple.
