The only reason I get new phones is cos OS updates stop flowing. That happens way before I notice any battery degradation. This law solves nothing.

I'm an android guy but you can solve that problem by going iPhone if so inclined

Really? How long does Apple support iPhones?

[–] zik@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Samsung and Google support their current generation phones for five years. Apple supports theirs for seven years from when they're last sold.

Wow that's a big plus for apple that I never knew about. Thanks!

The fact is I prefer Android when it comes to phones.
