Android still err that err with having a poor update system. It may seem normal when you have dozens of manufacturers at your service and you don’t have full control over how things are done. Yesterday Google had a chance to show that you trust your hardware and that you can deliver a Apple-like support. He had the opportunity, but did not take advantage of it. The Cupertino company has once again ridiculed the Android update system. Apple overtakes Google, Android and the new Google Pixel on the right. Of course, in terms of updates.
Not even on its own smartphones does it offer the same support as Apple
Google, once again, has shown that not up to Apple in terms of support and concern for your hardware. The search company has confirmed the support of updates for the new Google Pixel until 2024. This means that they will have operating system updates for 3 years.
Most Android mobiles update the operating system for 2 years and sometimes for 3. Google is the owner of Android and also the owner of the Google Pixel. Not even with these conditions is able to match Apple when it comes to support.
In Pro Android we have good and bad words for all the companies in the market and, of course, we do not understand this move by Google. Google has been trying for years to put measures against the fragmentation of Android, And now it launches its most ambitious devices with support matched to that of Samsung or OnePlus.
IPhone 6s can upgrade to IOS 15
Today, more than 6 years after the release of the iPhone 6s, the device is on the list of official Apple updates. If you own this device you can update it to the newest version of IOS. 6 years. 6 versions of IOS.
All this being a device launched in 2015, with quite outdated hardware and that has little to do with the current one. Still, Apple takes care of this series of details and offers the possibility of updating the first day to its oldest customers.
Why can you do it? It has a fairly small catalog and a very polished operating system. The funny thing is that Google has a even smaller catalog of smartphones, so it could perfectly maintain a much longer update support.
Google can, but doesn’t want to
You don’t have to be a developer to know that one of the most important companies in the world has the ability to make your own devices update for 5-6 years. If you don’t, it’s because you don’t want to, it’s not profitable, or you just know that your devices, in most parts of the world, are almost invisible.
Google has in its hand to set an example to the rest of the companies that use Android And, in 2021, it has again lost the opportunity to do so. Of course, this is not a reason to rule out the purchase of the Pixel 6, although it is a reason not to be entirely happy with an operating system that, nor on their own mobiles, is able to match the competition. What do you think?
