I bought the 8 pro in part for the promise of 7 years of updates. 😕
I understand not everything can come to old phones, maybe it depends on a battery management system feature that is missing in the 8 hw? Otherwise I'm disappointed for sure.
Edit: the missing hw was already in the comments.... Read all comments before saying something 🤦♂️
You evaluated the situation and concluded the change was not worth it for you. I have no problem with that, everyone decides for themselves what fits their use case. Like you say, it works just fine as it is.
I came to a different conclusion and like the changes that are happening. Not sure what from the original vision is changing.
Not familiar with the specific technologies used, but I have a good feeling about the refactoring taking place.
The note says bugs will be fixed and security updates will be applied. But the last commit and release was 10 months ago. I wouldn't get my hopes up too much.
I changed over to next early and have been very happy with it.
Some quality of life upgrades, but mostly refactoring the code for stability and maintenance.
We use slack for some things and teams for some things at work. Can't say I really prefer one over the other. My dream is if we could just decide on one platform so I can find shit. Any of them!
