> Laggy

At least Google isn't making your phone laggy on purpose! (too soon?)

Joking aside, there are a lot of sketchy, crappy Android devices, but there are also some decent ones (e.g. straight from Google). I suspect you've only been exposed to the crappy ones.

Google has tried to release a phone before and they fail hard. The phone stops getting updates. If you want an android device with updates you have to get a BlackBerry.

Android OS is horrible because it's always different. From release to release. From phone to phone. Everyone has their own little tidbit to add and makes it non uniform.

What? They provide major OS updates for 2 years, and security updates for 3 years.

Are you referring to OEM modifications to Android? It's really hard to follow your rant.

In iOS land, 2 years is just getting started for OS updates - generally you get 5 years or so. That's one of the reasons so many iPhones get handed down and resold compared to Android devices.

You mean that time when Samsung and practically all major Android makers cheated at benchmarks? https://www.anandtech.com/show/7384/state-of-cheating-in-and...
