potato4k, 26 Jan 2021Why would any Android OEM make updating seamless? They want to make sure updating is as annoyi... moreTrue. The whole android system is broken in that way. Because Google doesn't revenue share on the Playstore and software side with Manfuacturers so there's little to no incentive for Manufacturers to maintain the software. They have to keep selling hardware to survive.

On the other hand Apple keeps the software updates coming because a 4 year old iphone still derives them revenue on the software side even after the hardware has become irrelevant.

But Android does have that freedom and the non-restrictive design that attracts many manufacturers thereby giving consumers much more choice.

Choose your poison.

Why would any Android OEM make updating seamless? They want to make sure updating is as annoying or non-existent as possible so people would buy new phones every year. The ship has sailed Google.
