Unlike the primitive iOS monolith, Android updates every day for many years

The free Galaxies came about 3 years ago with Android 11.
But they were updated as of just this month to Android 13 & full patches.
The problem is the ignorant iKooks have no idea how an OS updates.

Unlike iOS (which uses a primitive monolithic update mechanism),
Android updates in multiple layers (over fifty different layers!).

Such that it's easy for Samsung/Google/T-Mobile to update my phone
which T-Mobile gave me for free back in April 2021 on Android 11.

Today it upgraded to Android 13 and September's full security patches.

That doesn't even include the 34 core Android operating system updates
which are happening every single day to billions of Androids over the net.

Meanwhile, my iPhones and iPads are stuck with the primitive monolith.

Enjoy your two or so years of full updates.

LOL!

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Maybe you haven't read the news in the last five years about Android?

Android project mainline is over 10 years of full daily patches.
Samsung Galaxy phones are five or six years of full updates & upgrades.

Apple dropped full hotfix patch support for iOS 16 just last week.
That means the oldest Apple iPhone that has full patch support is the XR.

The XR released in 2018 so that's five years less than Android support.

I feel like the time will get shorter in the future too

No. It doesn't. That's simply false.
