Why you can't compare iOS and Android when it comes to updates

Many people complain that iOS gets few more extra years of update support than Android, but it is not an apples-to-apples comparison (no pun intended). Here are reasons why Android and iOS updates work differently:

1. Android system apps aren't tied to the OS: System apps are an integral part of the OS experience, yet on iOS they have to be updated through an OS update. Android generally doesn't have this limitation. You can update your web browser, phone dialer, calculator and many other s...

Money is no object. Top 3 modern android phones?

If the price and the cellular bands did not factor into your smartphone purchase, which THREE android phones would you try to daily drive?

Usually, when discussing smartphones on this sub-reddit, people take into account the price of the smartphone (understandably so). I’m curious to see what smartphone-tech users here would be most excited to try to fit into their lives given an unlimited budget.

A ranked list would be the most interesting, but un-ranked is fine too. Please specify ranked or ...

Can we stop bitching about Android updates?

I know phones should get atleast 2-3 major updates but comparing it with iOS is stretching it too far. Hear me out.

I always see people get excited about new iOS updates because it brings a ton of new features but try to break then down into app updates vs OS updates, and you'll see a good chunk of iOS updates are app updates ( facetime, iMessage, notes app, maps etc ). Now android can update stock system apps easily from playstore and they do, we get multiple small updates over the year which ...

Top Mental Health Apps Android 2021

More and more people are starting to think about mental health issues, but they don’t visit therapists. I've seen a lot of questions lately like "Any tips on how to deal with anxiety or self-esteem troubles?", "How to cope with stress if I don't want to visit a therapist?"

I want to share a list of practices and apps that are worth checking out. I listened to the sessions and filled out the journals. And here are my opinions (there is no ranking):

It's a shame there aren't any more stock Android tablets

It's a real shame Google have up on Android tablets in general I recently picked up a Tab S and installed Crdroid and was able to update the Android version to Android 10.

It runs suprisingly well considering the age and is a similar experience to the pixel C . It's like a modern version of a nexus 9 which is great
