Well, I'm located in the EU and most people using iPhones do use iMessage here. Plus I don't think I want any bug anywhere on my phone if I'm paying more than 1000 USD for it, or even around 700 USD, it should be flawless.

"On a side-note: just like you claimed sometime ago in another article that you have never experienced bug on… (is it infinix?).."

Yes, it was an Infinix phone, but the same is true for my China ROM vivo phones. I'm a pretty heavy user so I think I would spot the bugs if there were any. However I have seen at least one bug* on my Poco F2 Pro which made it so I needed to restart it, and since that phone is long out of software support it won't be fixed, so yeah it's not just Apple and Samsung, but I'm saying it can be done without bugs. So why can't the biggest players do it?

*my keyboard got stuck on the screen while typing in messenger, and I couldn't even finish the message, to the other party it just showed me non-stop typing for 3 minutes, the restart fixed it, but I do use messenger on all of my phones daily and I've never expereinced such bug before.

    Sure, that's a pretty nice middle ground, which would be awesome, phones like the low-end Samsung phones with already slow SoC but 4 years of OS updates is more of what I meant by pointless update support.

    The upcoming Galaxy A16 which is said to receive 6 years of OS* updates is the most pointless of them all, that phone won't last more than 3 years anyways, so why bother.

    *may not be true, but even if it will only receive 4 years it's still too much.

      Examples of bugs, right? What are those examples meant to achieve? To show us that software updates are not necessary, because they could intruduce bugs. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      2. What makes the software update pointless? Presence of bug(s)??? Lol Pointless to you doesn't mean pointless to another.

      On a side-note: just like you claimed sometime ago in another article that you have never experienced bug on… (is it infinix?), those people that don't use iMesaage would also claim that iOS 18 doesn't have bug. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      3. So, you see, phones could also launch with bugs, which could be fixed with updates. 🤷🏼‍♂️

        Cyberchum, 3 hours agoKeyword is "I". It's entirely your choice, b... more"Genius, the bug had nothing to do with the hardware. 😂"

        I've already mentioned in a couple of my previous comments that I didn't mean bugs have anything to with hardware, I'm saying the exact opposite, that it's a software thing, which is why I dislike software updates.

        What I meant was pretty simple I'd like to think.

        Hardware > software

        And that products including (their) software should be finished before being published or launched to the public.

          DarlingYext would prefer a phone with SD 8 Gen 3 that will receive 0-2 OS updates.
          Cyberchum would prefer a phone with SD 7+ Gen 3 that will receive 4+ OS updates.

          I bet that SD 850 can comfortably handle more than 90% of what Cyberchum and majority of buyers do with their smartphones on a daily basis. But Cyberchum definitely wouldn't like to miss a handy feature or support that comes with an OS update just because he chose a SoC that makes virtually no change to his smartphone usage.

          "Not my problem that Samsung's best hardware also gains bugs with software updates." This statement shows that you aren't really as knowledgeable as you'd like to think you are. Genius, the bug had nothing to do with the hardware. 😂

          You, yourself, what perfect service do you offer?

            It was just an example, same with the S23 Ultra update.

            "2. Does iPhones have bad hardware that made them susceptible to the bug? 😂"

            No, and that's not even what I was talking about. Bad hardware combined with pointless software updates is worse than good hardware with no updates. That doesn't mean good hardware can't be combined with software full of bugs.

            "3. Doesn't iPhone 16 series launch with iOS 18? 😉"

            It sure does, and it's an unfinished software that they pushed out as an update to older iPhones as well, instead of focusing on finishing it.

Not my problem that Samsung's best hardware also gains bugs with software updates.

              Why not just launch the finished phone after checking it 1000 times so it has no bugs and works perfectly, instead of having to update it twice a month so some bugs get fixed while some get introduced?

                      It's obvious that I meant the cheaper phone is the one with worse cameras.
