To be fair, I've also had Apple push an OTA that softbricked my iPhone 7 Plus a few years back, and had to reset it in the same way. I learned the hard way that day to do a local backup before installing any OS updates. This is probably wise, no matter who made it or what software it runs.
- Hamuko 5y agoI've had an iPhone 11 for about 1.5 years now and I've yet to have an unsuccessful update on it. I think I'd had the OnePlus 5 for about half a year when I got the softbrick. So far Apple is leading the reliability race by far for me.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoThese events don't happen often. So looking at them on a timeframe of a single year seems... Pointless
- Hamuko 5y agoThey don't have to happen often. You only have to restore your Android phone once during the Christmas party so you have GPS to drive back home afterwards to be burned for life. I've owned both phones for long enough to have minor and major updates happen. One has burned me, one hasn't. That's my experience and my confidence levels in both of them are based on that.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoI totally understand, that sucks a lot. But it is just one data point. Also small nitpick but you say "Android phone" but it was probably an issue just with OnePlus and you would have been fine if you had a Pixel. edit: I don't want to sound like I'm blaming you for buying a OnePlus btw (I had one myself)
