Less Than Half of Android Users Have Upgraded to Android 13 or 14! 🤯
www.youtube.com
Android 14 has been out for 9 months and Android 13 was released almost two years ago, but less than 50% of Android users have devices running those versions...

Funny, the comment types here are the same as on Youtube:

  1. “I still run Android and it is totally fine, will never switch Android just got worse!”
  2. “Well, money”
  3. “Companies need to support phones longer”
  4. “I just use LineageOS on that device”
  5. Misinformation

    For patches to the same version, yes. But, for upgrades between versions, not yet. At least not that I’m aware of.

    Now, GrapheneOS on the Google Pixel can update between versions and security patches to the current version too. So it’s fully there, but to my knowledge, lineage does not allow version upgrades.

        Yeah, it most definitely does. Though, on the other hand, you get a device with the newest lineage on it, and you can hold onto that for 4 or 5 or 6 years, and then upgrade, and just put lineage on the new device when you upgrade. And you jump like 7 versions at a time. The big problem isn’t necessarily upgrades as security patches.

          I like the latest and greatest personally. Also you can keep a device for a really long time with Lineage OS

        I think it is suppost to be a safety mechanism to keep you from jumping without looking. You can just download the image to an SD card. I sometimes do that for regular updates as it is often way faster.
