This post is so entitled. It's 2022 and I am using a Samsung A8 phone from 2018 which is pretty good and perfect size for me, thank you very much.
Not everyone makes $450,000 USD a year and can change phone every month, I am sorry.
- mgkimsal 4y agoAmen. You want to come in to my business and give me money? Upgrade your phone! Then scroll through a 4" version of the 18" menu we scanned in and then threw away.
- kkielhofner 4y agoThe iPhone 5s from 2013 (109 months ago) scans QR codes from the default camera app just fine. Still gets security updates too. This is unparalleled in the Android ecosystem. I’m not going to get into yet another platform flame war and I’m sure you have plenty of reasons why you selected your device and they’re valid. But if your post is about longevity and economics iPhone wins hands down.
- TomDavey 4y agoIndeed. My iPhone 6s (lovely big screen) has worked perfectly since 2015. I'm disappointed that IOS 16 won't be available for it, but I really can't complain after continuous, impeccable compatibility for almost eight years. And, as the parent noted, my 6s is still getting security updates; current is 15.7.1. I'd swear Apple is sneaking in some UI polishing too.

It’s built-in from Android 8.0 and Samsung supports the 2018 A8 up to Android 9. I get the sentiment, but the ire is better directed at those preventing older/cheaper phones from doing what they’re capable of.
