Android phones are made obsolete years before their hardware is obsolete due to no software updates

Android phones are made obsolete years before their hardware is obsolete due to no software updates.

iPhones are better because people understand that you pay more for better quality software that will be supported for many years.

Don't fall for it you stupid fags.

still using 4.2 and you can't stop me

>what is lineage
>what is root
>what is debloater.

that's nice

Yeah. Typical girlie rant

thats nice but only if there are people developing custom roms for your specific phone.

Then apple upgrades the software to use more resources than it should on old hardware

Except like 90% of the stuff they add in new OS versions are completely useless, broken, or a feature that ruins the whole app for everything based setting. Same with iOS and Android.

Obsolete

>can't customize your launcher

I hate Apple and iOS but tb.h the absolute shit show that is updates is the biggest issue I have with Android.

It doesn't matter if you're a Sup Forums turboautist who only buys Google or phones with LineageOS support or whatever, but it's absolutely awful for the ecosystem to have all these different layers of companies involved in pushing updates, and phones still being sold as "new" that are running fucking KitKat and will never get a single update.

For example, when my mom finally decided 2 years ago that it was time to get a smartphone, she just went to the shitty cell store downtown for her carrier and got a Galaxy S4, which I suggested because it was basically the only "good" one that they had that fell within what she wanted to pay for it, and she didn't want to buy one unlocked, so that was it. It's still a great phone, but it was already 2 years old when she got it "new" and it's hard to explain to her now, 2 years later why she doesn't have Google Assistant like my phone does, because her S4 has been long ago abandoned by Samsung even though it's perfectly good still, and how I'd have to flash Lineage in order for her to ever get another update which of course she won't let me do and I wouldn't really want to unless she gave me the phone and got another.. for some people in my life like parents, I'm honestly tempted to just recommend them an iPhone because of this shitty situation that won't be fixed for a long ass time if ever.

nice reddit post

>It doesn't matter if you're a Sup Forums turboautist who only buys Google

desu, i would only buy phones from google because of this reason.

I want to cum on her huge forehead.

i mean because of the update cycle. i've had other android devices that were never updated once.

Nobody cares about it. Nobody cares about changing your shitty icons or putting one hundred widgets on your homescreen. Why can't you understand that?

getting my family on apple shit ended my free tech support lifestyle

even grandma has an ipad now, completely content with shitposting on facebook and playing vidya without a problem

And neckbeards here wonder why is Apple so succesfull.

Apple is successful because it makes things easy and seamless for anyone.

Android can do “more” in a technical sense, but in the real world, Apple products and the support Apple provide are enough.

Apple consistently get the highest satisfaction rates (Samsung are catching up however). AppleCare is almost unmatched. Your Apple device not working? Travel to a store and get it exchanged immediately. Why isn’t it this simple?

I just find it stunning that a phone from 2013 (iPhone 5S) runs the latest software. There is no android device out there that runs any officially supported version of Oreo anywhere on this earth. It’s just left as abandonware

>shitty icons or putting one hundred widgets on your homescreen.
You're right. But I care about having none of that, removing the clutter, being able to start the apps I used the most using gestures, making it faster, etc.

I'm starting to gravitate to macbooks, as everything just works right out the box. And UNIX is definitely a plus. Aside from being physically locked down, and having proprietary connectors, they seem perfect.

>customize your launcher

No need if you already have the best by default

buy a pixel or android one, poorfag

Amen brother. Best thing i ever bought was an Airport Extreme for my folks. Thing just werks right out of the box, problem free for like 3+years and I bet its never been rebooted once.

I hate all you "just flash Dd-WRT on this discontinued $20 router" neckbeards with the fire of a 1000 suns.

iPhones update are a meme. It is literally planned obsolence and you know it. After the third update all iPhones become pretty much unusable. You could say the same for Android, except that you have the option of rooting and installing custom roms. My 4 year old Nexus 6 should be "obsolete" by now, yet works like new with 7.1.1 Nougat. There's even Oreo roms out for it already, which I'll install once they become stable enough.

I don't know man, I prefer Android because it just acts the way I expect a mobile os to. The back button, notifications, app drawer, and customization all make sense to me in the context of my daily use.

Most common phones have custom ROMs done for them. It's your own fault if you buy a literally what brand Chink phone. My Huawei P8 which was basically entirely forgotten by Huawei less than six months after it was released is still getting Lineage updates.

Why can't you develop for your own device?

You're on a technology board, don't tell me you're tech illiterate...

...

You can always research the availability of custom ROMs for a device you intend to buy.

I wonder if she mudslim or not.

I wonder if you inbred or just mentally retarded.

nigger lover

But that is just false.
My nexus 4 sill works perfectly, you do not need to update your OS to continue using a device you tech illiterate faggot.

where did this meme even come from?
I abandoned Apple because they arbitrarily stop giving software updateds to their older devices, why are people under the impression that they somehow support old products with ios?

Islamic hijab is supposed to fully cover the hair. But some people in Iran/Afghanistan only half-cover their hair.

...or she could just be wearing a non-hijab scarf.

you are a closed mind person if you think only nerds are allowed to post

was the same on my sumsang s3.
The current state of lineage os is not yet supporting a wide range of devices. (at least not that many huawei devices)

Fucking poor fag and enjoy your old software with loop holes in it. Kys Android desu is bad and I never looked back from buying an iPhone 7Plus. The iPhones out today are faster on flash memory speeds than your outdated fucking thinkpads. Nvme, while you idiots are still on hard drives for your kitty porn

I’ll never get a MacBook though. So inb4 Apple fag

updating my iphone yesterday resulted in my pictures being gone afterwards. is that part of the applel experience? if I wasn‘t so lazy and if I didn‘t feel safer/less spied on like with a gapps bloated poodroid I would have already sold this piece of shit.
hope the xz1c drops in price soon

and you're a fool
smartphones are pcs not just phones
enjoy your vulnerabilities

and there has always been none

b-b-but just install Pajeet's custom ROM and it's perfectly supported! itoddlers BTFO!

>After the third update all iPhones become pretty much unusable
if that's true, then why does my ancient iPhone 4S still work great even with iOS9? it runs better than my old shitsung lagdroid that for some reason became unusable very fast.

Enjoy phone full of bugs. Wtf? Custom roms still a thing? Last time I flashed Rom was on LG Optimus One

This problem is completely solved with FOSS ROMs. I understand that Applels can't grasp the concept but your phone is like (not even like, it actually is) a computer. You can install other OSes compatible with your platform.

My '12 Galaxy S3 is running Lineage OS with the latest security patches. My phone's hardware is actually obsolete but I only have to replace it when it breaks or I think the performance isn't acceptable anymore.

WTF I love Muslims now!

Then you do not buy that device. It's that simple. Or you just accept that your phone will last 1 1/2 years max.

>Custom roms still a thing?
Bigger then ever, even. It's only logical that you want the freedom to chose an OS for you phone.

WTF I love Iran now!

>juice want to kill this

Still using 4.1 on a phone with 4gb internal memory and 1gb ram.

>Or you just accept that your phone will last 1 1/2 years max.

NO
