Now will any company actually use this? It’s my biggest issue with android phones is so many of them just never get security updates
It was the single biggest reason I switched to iPhone. Usually I was dying to upgrade after 2 years because the phones would start to suck. Then I got a Pixel 2 and it was great! But after 3 years it stopped getting updates even though the hardware still worked fine, and I looked over at my stepdaughter’s iPhone, which was 6 years old but still getting updates, could still get parts replaced at a local repair shop. It started to feel like that was the better value as flagship phones started costing $800+.
Same here. I would feel much happier to consider shopping around again if more options than just Google offered updates but that never seems to materialize
