Why I personally like that android phones are updated less. (not a troll post)

As updates put alot more strain on the phones cpu over time I find that my androids last longer then iPhones. My LGV20 still feels really snappy after 5 years still just like day 1 and I feel like it's because nothing has changed its workload in terms of software as it's only on android 8 atm ( can go to 9 though) and runs software that was around when it was released. ( was released on 7). I recently bought an iPhone 7 for $70 for imessage and and facetime and Snapchat pics and its on its lates...

With iOS 14.5, Apple has made a big deal about how they are allowing users to opt out of advertising trackers for specific applications. Many websites have posted that there doesn't appear to be an Android equivalent. Here are a couple.

My personal opinion on A12 after 60 hours

Pros:
\- As a Pixel 4 user that utilises face unlock routinely, pattern unlock is now instantaneous, compared to a second delay on A11.
