Mr. Kroniks, 17 Jan 2022Something is wrong with your calculations. For example, ... morethe problem with 2026-2022 is that they are different points of the year. For 2022 its the beginning of the year (Feb launch) while for 2026 the phone's last update will be at end of the year aka beginning of 2027, so its really 2027-2022=5

Anonymous, 17 Jan 2022And then you give Samsung as an example with best updating ... moreWho cares when Google publishes them? That doesn't matter, think about it. From Samsung user's perspective, it's 1 year per update since the Android updates come basically same time every year. As long as the updates are given out around the same time every year for a device, it will be 1 year of Android X then 1 year of Android X+1 etc for the user, which is fine. Like after you get Android 12 on ur S21 Ultra you will get Android 13 1 year later and 14 1 year after that. Actually when Google releases the new Android is pointless and irrelevant, especially since Google is only sells in very few countries and even then not at the volume of Samsung.
What cool new features are you talking about dude? Most people's usage of their phones remains the same stop lying to urself. "Extra speed and optimizations" are you serious?? You are just repeating marketing material and what tech reviewers on youtube go over, pointless things most people dont know exists and for the ones that know they wont even use and even if u use it a few times for the sake of feeling like ios updates are so amazing you will not incorporate them into ur daily usage of the phone whatsoever, "AI things" lmao stop it please stop nobody cares about that except if ur really into tech/Ai which most people arent and given u just spew tech-youtuber content you arent into the tech that much.
I agree in the past just 1 update, but even my old J7 prime which only got 1 android update got 2 more years of security updates quarterly if i remember correctly.
but now in 2022 thats not the case, you can go off your old experience all you want and ignore the new reality which is even a cheap phone like A22 5G will get 2 Android updates and 1 more security update so total 4 years of no security concerns! (dont forget the 1st year of using the phone in ur calculation)
who are these people that would be more excited? bruh people dont buy tech so they can sit and wait for updates to happen, they buy it to use it, and in terms of usage these days it is so matured already that updates dont change much
even xiaomi phones for flagships ones u get 3 years android updates and for really cheap ones okay you get 1 android update but still 2 or more additional years of security updates/MiUi updates which are u really complaining for the low low price even lower than A22 5G??
even u admit u will upgrade before using all those years of ios updates, so theres no point of complaining about Samsung's 3-5 years of updates bruh, """updates""" are not a true advantage/disadvantage for either iOS or Android phones these days

Mr. Kroniks, 17 Jan 2022Something is wrong with your calculations.
For example, ... moreNo bro, S22 comes out with latest Android version, you use that for 1 year with the monthly security updates. Then S23 comes, now ur S22 gets its 1st Android update you use that for the year now you have been using the phone for 2 years. S24 comes, same thing you get 2nd Android update for the year so now u have been using for 3 years, then 3rd and final Android update comes you use that for the year now u have been using S22 for 4 years, then S25 comes you dont get Android update but still get security updates for the whole year until S26 comes then ur updates stop, so thats total 5 years of having latest security update on ur Samsung phone if u buy it close to launch date.

Anonymous, 17 Jan 2022And then you give Samsung as an example with best updating ... moreYour first paragraph makes no sense, since Samsung really release monthly security updates even before Google. Sometimes they can release December patch in November. In terms of updates, Samsung is definitely the best in Android world. At least in relation to their flagships.
They are really the closest to Apple in this regard.

OS updates don't matter in ... moreAnd then you give Samsung as an example with best updating in Android segment. You say security updates are most important yet everyone but Samsung are absolutely terrible when it comes tot hat. They release them with months long delays after Google publishes them, some only release them quarterly by default, some only release them if there is some high profile exploit that's all over the news and some just don't care and never release any.
And saying people don't care about new OS updates, do they really not care? Really? Or they are just so used to not getting any, they aren't excited about them at all? I know for me with iPhone, every fall of every year is like early Christmas because I know for a fact I'll get new iOS version with new cool features. And you never question whether you'll get them or not and with what delay. When everyone gets them, then you also get them the very same moment. And there have been really nice updates. iOS 13 brought bunch of extra speed and optimizations, iOS 14 brought little extra usable things like proper stock widgets that are really cool and integrate perfectly visually and iOS 15 brought a lot of "Ai" things that work locally and are super convenient like text OCR on any image by just double tapping it. I can't wait for iOS 16 and what new it'll bring. And I know for a fact I'll also get iOS 17. And then that will be it after 5 years of major updates. After which you get 1-3 years of extra security updates alone. I'll probably not be around that long, but it's still nice. I never had any Android phone for this long and there was just zero excitement for new major OS update because in 99% cases you just weren't eligible in the past. We're talking getting 1 major OS update and that was it. Or 2 at best. That was experience with old Samsung's a decade ago, with HTC, with Huawei and Xiaomi. Samsung was yet again the only exception that had 2-3 years as default even back then, but that was far after Galaxy S2 that I had.
People would be more excited if it was something they could depend on getting. But the way Android vendors treat their users I can understand how no one is even excited about it.

OS updates don't matter in ... moreSomething is wrong with your calculations.
For example, S22 will be released in February, 2022. It will get 3 OS upgrades and 1 year of security updates after the last OS upgrade.
So, if S22 is released with Android 12, it will get the Android 13 (2022), Android 14 (2023) and Android 15 (2024). According to the statistics, Smasung flagships receive the OS upgrades at the end of the year, if Google releases the new Android version in Autumn. So, the S22 will receive the Android 15 in late 2024. Plus it will get 1 year of additional security updates, till the end of 2025 or till the February, 2026 (if we starting calculate from the phone release date).
So, maximum of 4 years of updates are granted for Samsung flagships (2026 - 2022 = 4).

OS updates don't matter in terms of safety, what matters is security updates. And in that regard, both iOS and Android devices get security updates for enough years. Samsung flagships and even some A-series phones, like A52 5G, will get 3 Android updates and an additional year of security updates after that. So that's 5 years of having updated security on your new Samsung phone, which is more than enough for most people. Even if you buy a cheaper A-series phone, like A22 5G, you get 2 Android updates and 1 additional year of security updates so you can use the phone for 4 years total.
Most phones are amazing these days, both iOS and Android, there really isn't much to complain about anymore. So you can pretend as if iOS is just somehow a much better and necessary choice over Android, but it's simply not true dude. And honestly, I've only ever seen Apple users complain about Android updates.
What excitement/buzz are you talking about? In tech-youtube or on tech-forums like GSM arena??? Bruh that's not even 1% of real life consumers.
Not everyone wants an iPhone dude, and that's not a wrong thing!

We also never stored bank credentials and passwords to important services on CRT TV's. Phones do however. Assuming GooglePlay updates can fix everything is a dumb logic. If that was true, Google wasn't releasing monthly updates that require firmware level updating that has to be specifically delivered by a phone vendor to that specific model of the phone and is NEVER done through GooglePlay updates alone. Those are just apps that are just half of the story.

There is a difference between hacking the actual iCloud infrastructure and dupping users into willingly handing over credentials which is what was used to access their nudes. It was phishing attack where users entered their credentials which were then used to access the content on iCloud. One can only blame Apple for not being more annoying by pushing users to use 2FA which can often prevent such phishing attacks.

I'll just say you should check your eyesight with your doctor... Not only is lower resolution, it's also very dull/not very bright despite being S-AMOLED+. Maybe it beats LCD only at blacks because it's an OLED. But that's about it. If I compare it to my iPhone XR it looks terrible in pretty much every single possible way.

Apple rolled the CSAM scanning in IOS 15.2, they can see your pictures and text you send at all times. I strongly suggest Apple users of any apple product, iPhones, Mac's, apple watch, to switch to android.
