>one company makes just one or two renditions of their phone and OS
>other companies make multiple phones but not their OS

Googles official phones are still getting updates, you can't blame android(the system itself) just because most of the companies are just too lazy to update their products.
and also if you are too stupid to buy a correct phone.
>hurr my cheap chinese phones is not updated to the latest os durr

Apple supports like 4-5 devices and they still has problems with characters, preview messages, slow os on a super strong chip. Most of my friends said that their latest (ios 11) is a slow buggy shit compared to the previous ios10 which was a shit compared to the ios9....

WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Even googles shitty phones only get 2 years support

Okay, you are right in this case, but is it worth it to support a device for 5 years?
I think on their older phones the newer systems are just slow as fck, if it runs shit on the new ones.

Why are androids so shit that they only last for two years?

Many people still use the iPhone 5s.

Im still using a phone with the latest android os, and it was released in 2014 (its not officially supported, but it wasn't to hard to push two buttons, click install zip and voila android 8.1) and it still performs well
While one of my friend had a 5s and it died after 1year of usage (hardware problems with thunderbolt port, he was not able to charge his phone) and he doesn't wanted to update it to new ios versions because it was slow on those ones. So he bought an iphone 8 after one year.

>not buying a new phone every 3 years
Are you a poorfag?

>not officially supported
Irrelevant then

android phones arnt even updated

Lineage is better than anything an OEM can shit out, why do you need """"official support"""" anyway, are you too dumb to fix problems on your own?

A 5 year old android version is still more functional than the latest IOS.

>fixing problems by yourself
Why even pay for the phone then? Or, why pay over $80 for it?
>lineageOS is good
Maybe on less than 20 phones, most devices either have no support or shit support.
>why do you need """"official support"""" anyway
Because I want a relatively up to date OS that isn't handled by a third party and won't brick my device.
So far the only smartphone that looks promising is Librem 5, but even it won't arrive for at least a year and is overpriced.

Tell that to my Moto G3 and my S5

>Why even pay for the phone then? Or, why pay over $80 for it?
I don't pay for support I pay for hardware, besides I've never had a problem with android I couldn't fix myself.
>Maybe on less than 20 phones, most devices either have no support or shit support.
There's far more than 20 devices on the official lineage build list, I've also installed unofficial builds more than a few times without any bugs at all.
>Because I want a relatively up to date OS that isn't handled by a third party and won't brick my device.
Pretty hard for a rom to brick android these days, it'll have to overwrite the recovery partition which I've never seen lineage do.
>So far the only smartphone that looks promising is Librem 5, but even it won't arrive for at least a year and is overpriced.
Overpriced with outdated hardware don't have high hopes for it.

This. Why should I want to "update" to Googles newest and even shittier UI abominations? The only reason why I am on Android 6.0 now is the improved app control.

>friend has an iPhone 4S running whatever is the latest iOS for 4S
>basically a dumbphone at this point

>I have a Galaxy S3, released just a couple of months after the iPhone, running LineageOS with the latest security patches
>perfectly usable

Glad you enjoy your 5 year support though :)

6.0 was the last version with consistent UI. Google set their Material design guidelines and disregarded most of them starting with Nougat. Oreo is just pure shitshow.

apple doesnt have hundreds of models to make updates for

You get this point.

HOWEVER, after the 2 years "official support", you still get security updates

I never had to fix anything

Well for that price im happy with my 1+1, running android 8.1, there is literally zero reason to buy a stronger phone.

>Explain this
Apple is capable of doing this because there's only one iPhone, and that is the iPhone. (Technically there are three but you get the idea.)
Android works quite differently; it's not even really similar to Windows. macOS and Windows are both capable of pushing out updates to all of their devices because they're generally the same across all devices. Android is malleable; it can be "customized" (read: polluted) by the device manufacturers who now have to not only design the hardware but also some software. As a result, Android phones often don't get updated at all because the OEMs are too fuckin' lazy to maintain the shitty bloatware they wrote and forced upon their users in the first place.
The iPhone doesn't have this problem. :^)

Even if your carrier decides not to push an iOS update over the air, you can still bypass that by plugging your iPhone into iTunes and manually updating it that way, and it's pretty easy. The same cannot be said about your Android device. (rooting doesn't count.)
Anyway, this is partially the reason Windows Phone failed as a platform. It functions too similarly to standard Windows. Companies are allowed to preload their devices with the operating system but are not allowed to change it at all, which means it's going to be really hard to differentiate your phone from its competition, which means despite the fact that all Windows Phones are made and designed by different companies, they're all virtually the same and offer no advantage over one another. Android doesn't have this problem :^)

Android should have been closed source or at least they should enforce clean roms if you want your phone to access the Play Store.

>Even if your carrier decides not to push an iOS update over the air,
None of them do - ever. That was the deal Jobs struck. The iPhone was the same no matter what network you were on. Apple, and only Apple, took care of updates.
Theoretically, you could stick to WiFi and still get all your updates. I use Viber for my calls over WiFi and keep the 3G for emergencies.

They do if you stop paying them.

Because ios isn't a piece of shit that runs on Java

>iPhones are updated for 5 years
How else would apple kill performance, and functionality if they didn't push updates?
Also I'm a little tired of Sup Forums. There's been nothing but shill threads for a long time now.

Poor people can't afford new iPhones so Apple is forced to support older iPhones longer.

>They do if you stop paying them.
Stop paying who? Apple?
I think you've replied to the wrong post.

>How else would apple kill performance, and functionality if they didn't push updates?
Android get the same results in 2 years by stopping updates and by leaving updates to the telcos.

>Poor people can't afford new iPhones so Apple is forced to support older iPhones longer.
Apple dumps over-runs of previous models into the market when a new model is due. They are very cheap.

Qualcomm

Android phones get new hardware innovations multiple times a year, from tens of different manufacturers.
iPhones use the same 5+ year old hardware on multiple phones from a single manufacturer.
If apple decides to stop updating your iPhone, you're boned. If your android manufacturer does the say, you can flip him the bird and update it yourself.

Treble is the future of Android.

Do you ever get tired of being banned iToddler?

Can someone explain to me how the iPad processor is supposedly as powerful as a mobile i5?
If that's actually the case, why isn't Apple just putting those chips in their laptops and blowing the fuck out of the competition?

Geekbench is trash.

>carrier decides not to push an iOS update over the air
>None of them do - ever.
>They do if you stop paying them.
What I mean is that if you stop paying your bill you won't get any more iOS updates. A deactivated iPhone doesn't get updated unless you do it manually.

>why isn't Apple just putting those chips in their laptops and blowing the fuck out of the competition?
They've actually been planning on it this year. It's rumored that the new macbooks and macbook pros will have chips made in-house by Apple. Probably because of the whole spectre/meltdown thing.

Reminder to report this iToddler shill, he's been banned for an accumulated length of over 5+ years by the mods and still ban evades and comes back thinking he belongs here.

My Android phone is 4 years old and has the February 2018 security patch level. On the stock ROM.

Maybe stop thinking Samsung or LG are the only manufacturers.

Probably the real answer, I'd love to see the outcome of a non-synthetic test.
Think video editing on the A10X vs 7th gen mobile i5.

Report the ban evading shill and sage.

>best case scenario vs worst case scenario
what a fair comparison

Geekbench might be shit but the performance of phone processors is at least comparable to laptops.

youtube.com/watch?v=A_GlGglbu1U

This literally proves nothing.
Different software running on totally different systems.

>you still get security updates
Can anyone else confirm this? For someone thinking of switching to a budget android, this is reassuring.

Wow.

Imagine a laptop with 20 hours screen on time at 100% CPU usage.

Damn, good shit

What phone do you have

Based Linus

Buy a phone with good custom ROM support (check LineageOS website first) and you will get security updates for years.

see

Xiaomi Mi3

Android newfag here. So I was thinking of getting Moto e4 or G5 (since I'm Tmobile US and I don't want warranty problems with chinese phones, if they even work on my network to begin with) and from the lineage site it only shows support for the older models. Can I expect support for either of these newer models in the future? How long does it usually take for the ROM support to arrive?

Cool. Hopefully the other major manufacturers also do this.

I never get an explanation for why you should update?
If you use common sense, you're not going to get viruses or anything on your phone.

You can blame Android because is in practice locked down POS. If OEMs had their drivers in kernel tree the world would be a much better place, but GPL isn't even enforced half the time so here we are with outdated phones on launch day

Most people are interested in apples.
For this reason,
People like Steve are very big, because they feel.
People like the iPad listen to Steve Jobs
For everyone who comes to inspiration and real hope
It's like Steve Jobs and other Apple developers.
They want to discharge it and hope to overcome difficulties.
The history of love is much more than castness, corruption and despair.
They want Steve to grow, prove and have trouble.
People have real hope for their lives.
Bill Gates has been pardoned by everyone. This is an exciting emotion, stating it,
People like MacBook laptops do not have the ability to break bones "" They are all real soldiers, old people are tired, they are too excited about the fire during the first year of a long term agreement ... the first year of the whistle to eat A woman who feels or feels her throat will ask the sheep if they have not swallowed up the bananas they see.
The wrong answer is just the wrong answer.

I came in this thread to post about the mi3 still getting updates.
Xiaomi.eu roms still support it too user, if you ever wanna go off stock.

apple updates their phones to slow them down, I don't think you remember the recent lawsuits.
