I never update. NEVER.
Hate updates with a passion. If they don't break something rightaway (most of the times they do), are guaranteed to turn a snappy phone into a sluggish, barely-usable sort of a brick.
Afterall you never install Windows 11 on your Windows 95 machine and if you did, it would be unusable. Yet the Win95 software is perfectly usable if you decide to stick to it.
If I want new software I'll buy a new device that can run it.
Old phones can last A LONG TIME. I only replaced my mother's Samsung Galaxy S4 last month and only because WhatsApp refused to work with it anymore (not that it couldn't but so are corporate decisions). In all it lasted 10 years, not bad for a phone with no updates.
Like "the market will always go up long term", software updates are the cancer we were brainwashed to accept as some unquestionable axiom.
- Simulacra 3y agoI also avoid updates. They usually give me something I don't want, and take away some thing I do. On top of that with Apple devices, updates seem to slow the device down. I try to wait as long as possible before any updates.
- sebtron 3y agoThis could work, in the past. Nowadays software is released under the assumption that it will be fixed with updates, so you rarely get anything working out of the box.
