That’s surprising, I thought apple provided iOS updates and security updates much longer than Android phones — i thought there was some issues where Googles update had to be pushed by the manufacturer and they tend to drop support much sooner. Did I misunderstand that support timeframe?
- stereoradonc 4y agoSamsung is now committed to providing it for 5 years (2 years of security updates). It's fine.
- GianFabien 4y agoSome Android phone manufacturers are terrible in releasing security updates. Even within the same brand different models are updated, or not, to different cadence. In my experience you are pretty much stuck with the version of Android that the phone was released with. When upgrading Android apps, they seem to be less dependent upon having the latest version of Android in order to run. At least that has been my experience. I keep all my old phones and tablets and test webapps that I write with the most recent version of Chrome that I can still load onto them.
