This is the primary reason why I push the the non technically inclined (grandparents, older friends, etc) in my life to use iPhones. The latest Pixel I believe is now offering 6 years security patched (which makes it an Android leader), but

What an odd thing to do. I assume the US has no way to enforce this, so it's effectively just... a press release? I also found this funny: > “Today, we hold PLA hackers accountable for their criminal actions, and we remind the Chine

Agreed. It confuses me why loud people (who mostly seem to be Android users) push continually for this. I'm content with my walled garden, as most iPhone users seem to be. If I wasn't, I'd use Android. And publishers taking a
