Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

OS updates. It’s frustrating to buy a top of the line android phone just for it to be forgotten by the manufacturer in 6-8 months.

Pixels give you 5 years now same as iphone.

Only security updates.

OS updates are only 3 years

[–] Darus214@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Iphones get a lot more than 3 updates

[–] GingeyBook@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes that is my point.

Pixels only get 3 major version updates which is less than the iPhone

If you use the stock rom, if you install a custom one you get updates as long as the developers continue working which is quite a pong time for some of the ROMs that exist right now
