Why didn't you post a pie chart so we could see which OS is used how much?

No wonder you don’t see any bugs reporting, no one is using the latest software to come across any bugs.

Recent Pixel and Galaxy devices stay up to date. Other OEMs are hit or miss... mostly miss.

This is not new. I remember these types of articles would come out once or twice a year back in the 2010's, saying how slow Android is to adopt latest OS due to fr@gmentation.


iOS has the advantage of owning both hardware and software, so they can release latest on the day it is available. Meanwhile Android hardware is owned by each manufacturer and they need to customize a skin for each model. This results in slow adoption, and also holding on to older versions for longer.


Man, what a blast from the past. These types of articles used to incite such fury and flame wars, you would get banned for even typing the 'Frag...' word.

Thank you. This used to be common practice here. But due to Android vs iOS wars, they stopped posting it.
