Android and iOS have different philosophies regarding updates.
Android phones often only receive OS updates for a short time and are then used for many years more.
iOS devices usually receive OS updates for a much longer time.
This means, Android app devs have to make their apps more compatible, because otherwise they will exclude most users.
iOS devs on the other hand often only support the newest version of iOS, so if your device doesn’t get new OS updates any more, you can toss it.
I think your comment ended up on the wrong thread.
I hit this bug here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1513 It swapped out the post while I was typing the comment. Since the post URL was still the same, I figured that my comment would end up at the right post. Apparently not.
I’m so glad this chaos could spawn from a modified post of mine. I feel partially responsible.
Partially? It’s all your fault!
No, blame canada
old iOS phones become slower because apple tries to trick you into buying a new phone.
Phones should not need to be updated by the manufacturer - they should use tow-boot and then we won’t have to port android to every device in existence
Right? Phone hardware should be sold separately from its software.
