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

    I don’t blame the users. There’s usually no way to upgrade android versions, so we get stuck unless we replace the phone, and most people can’t afford to replace their phones so often. I’d go further and say that people shouldn’t be supposed to replace their phones because of a new software version. The android’s distribution model is flawed, we should be able to upgrade our phones the same way we upgrade linux distros. If it was possible, then I would blame users for running unmaintained software.

      Keep in mind that many Linux users have Laptops with no firmware updates anymore.

      But I agree of course, we need laws for that
