@FarraigePlaisteach@return2ozma 5 years is way longer than most people keep their phones, and itās also āat leastā Apple has been known to push updates to older devices way past that
An update to iOS 15 came out not too long ago iirc
Plus there are so many variables that go into whether a device will be able to actually run a particular version of software so giving a hard commitment at all is going to be conservative
@return2ozma committing to a number of years of software updates is...odd, not necessarily in the sense that nobody else is doing it, but in the sense that there are so many variables that go into whether or not a device will be supported on an update itās actually kind of hard to set that kind of deadline and truthfully stick to it
The same with the claims from Google and Samsung: Iāll believe it when I see it (after all, remember PixelPass?)
@DavidGA@AusatKeyboardPremi hush, you, this is Lemmy, where we get mad at anything and everything and ignore any appeal to reason because we just want to spend our time yelling at companies instead of dealing with real problems
Then how would they be training AI on it? If they donāt have it? If itās on device whatās the problem? Deleting a photo doesnāt wipe the bits to 0, it never has
@FarraigePlaisteach 99 times out of 100 the reason phones are getting slow is not updates, its a failing battery
Hold corporations accountable, but also donāt just shit on things to shit on them, device support isnāt that simple
