Phone Upgrade 101
* Get a phone.
* Use it 'til it dies.
* Get a new one.
Ignore the hype by Apple/Google/Samsung and co.
@nixCraft My mother in law said she has to get a new phone by the end of the year because Apple will no longer update hers. I don't think it's all that old. Never had that problem with my Android.
@violenteastcoastcity @nixCraft Android used to be much worse back in the day, 3 years or so IIRC? Apple had much longer lifespans… but I think Android support is massively better these days.
