You mean the update that not even Google cared about at their I/O event? Meanwhile Apple brings an iOS update that is received as having many small additions all around and having less issues than iOS 16 (except on iPhone 15). Even the OEMs that use Android and put a skin on top do better than Google themselves.

whatever device you buy it's particular manufacturer will spy on you regardless
whether it is Apple, Google or some Chinese brand they will use your data

If it received a fourth software update for Android 14, that would be fantastic.

4 update phones take 50% extra just for 2 more updates. Doesn't make much sense.
If i buy new Android 14 phone , I get latest OS pre-installed for one year.
2 updates = 15, 16 and 1 year until Android 17 comes.
After that buy Android 17 phone. this way you keep hardware and software both latest.

It looks like Google is pushing their "Topics" and "Privacy Sandbox" spyware into the OS. (Spoiler alert, it's anti-privacy) I've already nuked Chrome to avoid that bullshit. Hopefully the OS components can be easily disabled or I'll need to root my brand new phone.
