I dare you to post exactly the same post, but for Samsung and Pixel phones >>> on an android ng. Go on.

I already did that and he admitted Apple's support was much better
until Pixel and Samsung caught up to Apple with their very recent 7 year
policy. Can't wait until we see how well those two Android makers live
up to their promise and if Apple responds with a tweak to iOS!

Both Chris and Gondolfo Elam appear to want me to compare Apple's iPhone

"Gondolfo Elam"?

Is that one of those insults you claim you were never going to engage in?

OMG! Apple went to ~6 year support long before Samsung's very recent 7
year promise.

Once again your poor logic and arithmetic skills are on display.

Hi Tom,

I never disagree with any logically stated viewpoint.

If we look at historical full support for iOS, it's better than historical full support for Android competitors to the iPhone, nobody disagrees.

As I had stated many times, I'm not a religious zealot.
I don't defend the mothership to the death, no matter what.

I just tell it like it is.

Apple iOS support used to be much better than Android competitor's support. But today, the Android competitors FULL support is better than Apple's.

a. Galaxy S = 7 years, 7 updates (8 Android versions, in toto)
b. iPHone = 5 years, no specified number of updates

So you compare one cherry-picked Android phone...

...against ALL iPhones ever.

Got it.

In addition, all Android 10+ phones core modules update monthly. Forever.

But those core modules do not comprise the entire OS...
