Android has been known to be a bit hit and miss with its platform upgrades across different manufacturers and devices. However, with Apple announcing iOS 14 support for the 6S, it seems like Android is just so far behind Apple in this category that it seems embarrassing…

Android has awesome hardware but all these hardware for us just because we’re its lab rat. Once they get bored of it, they remove it from the next model and stop making new updates and betray us with buggy hardware and software.
I'm an Android user since 2011 till now
Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

Yeah, while we all like to admit it or not Apple really nailed home screen widgets. I can't even use any widgets on my Google Pixel 4 XL because they are so outdated and visually non consistent to my phone's Pixel Launcher. I don't want to using a new phone with widgets that haven't been updated for what? 6 years?
I am android user here. So, when Google failed at: messaging strategy, android one follow up and update, android go, project Tango… I will NOT hold my breath for any foreseeable better android update. It took many years for flag ship only to have slight better updates, but for mid range….. Ehhhh let's skip that topic…. I'll be enjoying fragmentation for a while 😁
Yup, I had an iPhone 6s in 2020, now I have a note 20 I got 50% off on. Very happy
IAM iPad os user
I was gonna buy apple cuz of software support but I literally get bored with my phones in 6 months and I buy another one after 6 months so what's the point of buying a flagship when I can buy many budget phones
That's one of the biggest reason why I love iPhones. I remember last year even iPhone 4s got the security update. 4s is 9 year old phone and they are still in working condition. I now have iPhone SE (2016) bought on eBay and first time when I got iOS 13 I was so excited because there were too many changes compared to iOS 12 and now I even have updated to iOS 14. It's 4 years old phone and still working great and still getting new updates and futures and that's what keeping me away from spending more money to buy a latest phone. I'm not saying that iPhones are the best phones but I love them.
If Google only let OEMs handle the hardware, Android could have updates for this long too. But that's a tradeoff that comes with letting OEMs make their own flavors of Android. Which I think is a valid trade-off. When OEMs experiment, a lot of those features end up making their way to stock Android anyway.
Older software versions of android last longer than older versions of ios, but it should still get more updates.
Android has so many gimmick features that are pointless, that's another reason iOS users don't switch to it.
Also it's a hardware issue with Android devices not getting updates, the hardware/software just isn't optimised enough to get years of updates and every update an Android gets has to be altered for so many devices if they want it to be the norm, meaning they just don't bother. Not a great user experience, phones are not upgraded every two years anymore for most people and that's something Android manufactures have relied on.
and then you have windows, got a core 2 duo laptop from 2007? it will run w10 2004, sometimes against your will even
Although in general I agree, there are custom ROMs out there & some are generic 'triple lock'.
I have an old Google Pixel C & although the hardware is good, my first & last google tablet/ mobile, as google dropped the device (along with support) like a hot potato.
Please don't use an iPhone 6 on iOS 14. Believe me, just don't.
PLS BRUSH YOUR YELLOW TEETH
Me with a iPhone 6s:😀
Crazy to think that the iPad 2 was supported from iOS 4.0 to iOS 9.3.5. That was 6 years of updates! Also, Apple does some random update to an Obsolete device for a security update sometimes, my iPhone 5S received a security update on iOS 12 while the current iOS was iOS 13, kinda random. Meanwhile my S7 was stuck on Oreo, at least there's XDA Devs that gives support to our Android Devices.
The true fact is that Android is superior than ios. I have both iPhone and the Note 10 plus 5G. I use my Note over my iphone is because android has the ability to chance anything to my liking without any consequences. Ios cannot do that. It's so restricted in every level. The main reason why Apple needs those updates is because they have more flaws to patch up. Everything, like the phone and imessage app, on the iPhone is tied to the core of the OS. Most apps on android are not. There are so many other pros that Android has over ios. Ios is still trying to catch up to android. Apple just started to giving users to add and move widgets to different areas on the home screen. Something that Android been had years ago. On top of all of this, android has better security than apple does currently. Ios 14 is still trying to keep up on mobile security.
A 4-year-old Android has more software features than the current.
Old bones should not talk about doing labor.
Blame manufacturers like Samsung . Who knowingly releases more than 10 phones a year yet will only support like 3 of them and even then only for two years. Pixels are key
But have you heard about an android company called Oneplus ,Oneplus 5 got updates till android 10 cosidering the price difference with the contemprory iphones it is a great deal
Nokia is also another company which manages to give updates for atleast 2 years midrange and entry variant phones which is also a great deal
calling your channel Android Authority you never even knew about these brands or you just Apple's Mouthpiece
I mainly switched to an iPhone to make talking to my all-Apple family easier, but the updates and privacy certainly helped a lot. Now I mostly use the S8 as a weekend toy. If it wasn’t for the mentioned things(and manufacturers copying Apple with the notch and headphone jack), I’d probably stick with the droid though.
Whoever is to blame makes purchasing an iPhone a more & more attractive option. Especially since they're finally addressing some of the most egregious of customizing limitations. More to be done, but upper end android is definitely being increasingly threatened by iPhone- in terms of capabilities, support & pricing.
Misleading title.
when my iphone 6 got lost, i switched to galaaxy s6 and that btch is so slowwwww compare to iphone 6. samsung needs to update their flagship lineup more often
Here in Malaysia iPhone price is too expensive…
usually consumer go to mid range such Xiaomi Note 9S is popular here it's cheap and got pretty everything u need daily basic
RM800 – 1500 is pretty much we gonna spend money at smartphone every 2-4 years
Honestly I'd be completely fine with either giving us the ability to pay for new OS updates after 3 years, or unlock the bootloader at the end of the devices life cycle and allow users to flash OS to their own risk.
They just want you to get rid of your 2 year old device and get a new one that's how they moving phone industry business, and already we got premium prices even more expensive then iPhone.
Samsung just declare 3 major updates for its top phones
I’m a former user of android devices specially samsung phones. The reason I made the switch was for software support. Fed up of spending money on flagship phones only to have software updates for 2 years. Doing the maths it become more expensive to be a android user then a iPhone user unless you really want and have the money to spend in a new phone every 1-2 years.
Strange how the name says Android Authority, but this whole Android video throws Android under the bus.
Android can't be blamed for updates taking too long, or for the fact that support for updates only last for 2 years or so. That stuff has to be approved by like 6 different companies before even going into beta. Also, you do realize that Apple has been at this for 12 years. Meanwhile the first pixel phone came out in 2016. Meaning Apple had been making their phones for 9 years before Google made their first phone, and you're expecting them to be at the same level as Apple. Also, the Apple ecosystem is made so that Apple can control EVERYTHING about the device. You won't find Motorola phones, Samsung phones, or any other manufacturers running iOS, which makes it easier to push out updates to phones because you don't have to ensure that it works with the handset, because it's guaranteed…you made the handset. This makes it easy to put features on the older phones and makes it so that Apple puts the update on themselves, without relying on the carrier to approve it. Don't be surprised if the 6 or the 6s has issues with the software, especially when it comes to network connectivity. You guys remember when Apple was caught throttling iPhones, and making iPhones batteries drain faster so that you bought the newest model? Yeah, that happened and this seems like a ploy to get people with a somewhat legitimate complaint against Android to switch over to iOS. I mean, think about it, if a channel like "Android Authority" is approving iOS over Android, then it's pretty much a done deal for Android, which has more mountains to scale. Just food for thought.
yeah im rocking an s7 edge with android 8. Cant complain. The only thing i wish i had (that android 10 has) is a completely dark theme. The phone works fine. The camera is good. The battery last all day. I dont see the need for an upgrade
Just ship phones with Lineage OS and put the manufacturer's custom theme (something like Substratum) on top. If devs can do it for free, huge multi billion dollar companies like Samsung should be able to as well. Just 1 upgrade for a flagship is embarrassing.
