You Should Buy An IPhone, Not An Android Phone

If on September 20, 2013, you walked into an Apple Store and purchased a brand-new iPhone 5S, and have kept using it ever since, later this year you will be able to upgrade the software to iOS 12. The iPhone 5S launched with iOS 7 that year, has since been discontinued, and yet will still receive the latest version of the Apple operating system. That’s five years later.

The iPhone 5S was up against the Samsung Galaxy S4 in 2013. A new one came with Android 4.2 installed, and was subsequently updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which launched in 2016 never officially arrived, and the chances of 2018’s Android P software being released for it are absolutely zero.

That’s not really good enough, and it’s representative of the gulf between the way Apple and Android manufacturers handle vital software updates.

Apple’s WWDC 2018 announcement that iOS 12 would be available for devices launched as far back as 2013 is proof positive that if you want continued, timely software updates for your phone, buy an iPhone. And the absolute worst thing you can do is buy an Android phone.
Not new news

Apple’s dedication to providing software updates needs to be applauded. On stage at WWDC 2018, Tim Cook said for Apple, the customer is at the center of everything. That may sound trite, but it’s hard to argue with this statement when talking about software updates. The number of people who still own and use an iPhone 5S will be far lower than those using an iPhone 8, iPhone 7, or even an iPhone 6 — yet Apple hasn’t abandoned them, even though they really couldn’t be blamed for doing so.

If you want continued, timely software updates for your phone, buy an iPhone.

Android manufacturers’ lethargy when it comes to major version software updates is well-documented. So well documented, in fact, that Google itself has live, up-to-date information on how pitiful adoption of its latest software is. Android 8.0 and Android 8.1, the most recent fully available versions of Android, are installed on 5.7 percent of all phones accessing the Google Play Store, which is where Google gets its data.

Apple was good enough to round this number up to six percent when it compared the prevalence of Oreo to iOS 11. Not that it really mattered, because iOS 11 is installed on 81 percent of iOS devices. It’s almost pointless going into much more detail about the hows and whys, because this giant difference is woefully unacceptable almost regardless of any excuse a manufacturer can come up with about it.
Why should you care?

New software updates are crucial to prolonging the lifetime of your phone. If you are still using a 2013 Galaxy S4 now, in June 2018, then it will likely be exposed to various security vulnerabilities that were fixed in later versions of Android, it may not run the latest versions of apps available in the Play Store, and be completely lacking any of the new features and design revamp found in Android installed on a Google Pixel 2 phone, for example.

If you have an iPhone 5S, then it has the same level of software security protection as an iPhone X. Outside of any hardware limitations, it’ll have all the same iOS features, and run almost all apps that can be downloaded from the App Store. If the phone has the right hardware, the features will be available for you to use. Neither the 5S or the S4 will provide the best phone experience you can have in 2018; but only one will give an interface and software experience that’s comparable to a phone actually released this year, and that’s a huge deal.

We spend a lot of money on these phones, and we deserve them to continue working at an optimum level on the software side for years afterwards. At the moment, only Apple really provides that. Yes, you can go and buy a Pixel phone from Google and get the same treatment, but the vast majority of phone buyers will get a phone from Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, Huawei, or other Android manufacturer.

It’s time consuming, expensive, and difficult for these companies to produce updates for its old phones; but for us, the people who spend hundreds of dollars on a phone, this doesn’t really matter. Money talks, and we should put it in the hands of those that continue to value our custom, whether that’s Apple or Google itself.
What about Project Treble?

This isn’t an attack on Google, which openly acknowledges that Android software updates outside of the Pixel family are mostly an atrocity. Project Treble, a part of Android 8.0, is its way of making major updates easier for manufacturers to implement. It’s all very complicated, and works deep inside the operating system, so you don’t really need to understand how it works. What you need to know is Google’s trying hard to get manufacturers to update Android on its devices by making it easier than ever before.

Project Treble doesn’t force manufacturers to code and release an update on a timely basis.

However, Project Treble doesn’t force manufacturers to code and release an update on a timely basis. Version updates may still come at a snail’s pace, and only arrive on flagship phones. There’s no binding contract either, so updates may never come to a cheaper device.

Project Treble is also only part of Android Oreo, which as we’ve already stated, is only on 6 percent of Android phones. It’s also not going to be part of any Oreo updates either. Which means the benefits will only come to current and future phones released with the latest Android version, and its impact will take at least a year to be felt by phone owners. Here, we’re just going to remind you that iOS 12 will be out around September time, and will be instantly compatible with the five-year-old iPhone 5S.
Make it clear this is unacceptable

We want the new features, the extra security, and the knowledge our business matters that regular software updates bring. It is important, and even if you don’t care about any new features, the security and stability tweaks make our phones work better, for longer. Yes, problems have occurred in the past — Apple has made some terrible errors with software updates for a minority of users in the past, for example — but this doesn’t always happen, and we’d always recommend not being the first to download an update before seeing how it performs out in the wild.

We shouldn’t rejoice when an Android update arrives on our phone. We should be nonplussed because it’s such a normal, accepted occurrence. The only way to get this is to buy a Google Pixel 2 or future Pixel phone, one in the Android One program, or just buy an Apple iPhone. The announcement of iOS 12 and its compatibility demonstrates in very clear terms how much Apple values its customers. We shouldn’t let other manufacturers get away with valuing them less.

Tim Cook, before his subordinates dropped bombs on Apple's Silicon Valley rivals.

Apple may be one of the biggest tech companies in the world, but that doesn't mean it isn't too big to throw some grade-A shade.

Just like last week's celebrity saga of Drake vs. Pusha T and Kanye West, but less interesting and nerdier, Apple dissed two big rivals, Android and Facebook, during its annual WWDC conference.  

A few of the jabs related to how much people were "addicted" to these other apps and services, so you could see some of Apple's comments as low-key compliments rather than full-blown insults.

Whatever the intention, it made for some pretty entertaining moments during a nearly two-hour keynote, in which Apple also announced the new iOS 12 mobile update, Memojis and MacOS Mojave. Read on to see what exactly Apple had to say about its software competitors.

On Android: 'It's hard to say they really have a software update model'

Before diving into the new features of iOS 12, Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi boasted about how quickly iOS users updated to Apple's latest mobile software. Its last OS version, iOS 11, can run on iPhones as old as 2013's iPhone 5S and half of Apple's customers were running the update seven weeks after its launch.

Federighi then stated that while 81 percent of active Apple iOS devices (which number more than a billion) run iOS 11, Google Android's latest Oreo update has only a 6 percent distribution. According to him, "When you look at the competition, it's hard to say they really have a software update model." 

Do you even update, bro? -- Apple, probably.

Apple with the bonus self-diss that people barely use its News app.

As tech companies and social media sites reckon with how their products contribute to negative things like phone addiction, fake news and the downfall of society in general, Apple added a new feature to iOS 12 that helps curb your time on your iPhone -- starting with apps from other companies.

The tool is folded into iOS 12's Screen Time feature, which gives you weekly activity summaries of your phone usage. You'll see data on how you use your iPhone or iPad, which apps you spend the most time on and how often you pick up your phone. 

During a quick preview, Federighi displayed the hypothetical usage of "Elizabeth," who has Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Netflix as her top most-used apps.

This isn't an offensive thing to say per se, since Facebook is probably happy to know that people spend a lot of time in its app. But it's interesting to note that Apple posited the app first when talking about curbing phone addiction.
On Instagram: 'Once you've reached your limit... It's time to move on'

Shortly after his bit about spending too much time on your phone, Federighi introduced App Limits, which lets you set a specific duration on how long you want to use an app.

As an example, Federighi brought up the photo-sharing app Instagram (which Facebook acquired in 2012), and calls it out specifically as an app you "might want to be spending a little bit less time" on. After setting your own time restriction, your iPhone will tell you when your limit is almost up. You can give yourself an extension if need be, but, "we'll give you a reminder later to move along," said Federighi.

Facebook has faced lots of criticism over user privacy even before its Cambridge Analytica scandal in April, and Apple didn't help matters by calling it out (again) during its keynote.

While going over Safari's new features on MacOS Mojave, Federighi said the web browser works "really hard to protect your privacy." He then pointed out that Like and Share buttons, as well as reader comment fields on other sites, can be used to track you, whether you engage with them or not.

Using a Facebook-powered comment thread as an example, Federighi said Safari will let users know if they want to allow a site like "'facebook.com' to use cookies and website data while browsing" a specific site (aptly named "blabbermouth.net" in the demo).

Though Apple listed other privacy improvements for MacOS, it's important to note that Apple's belief in privacy isn't completely at odds with Facebook's, and that the social media site worked with over 60 device makers, including Apple, to give them access to user data.

Commercially released more than a year ago running Android 7.0 Nougat, the S Pen-wielding giant started receiving its long overdue Oreo upgrade a few weeks back… in the UK only. Somewhat surprisingly (and uncharacteristically), the 8.0 rollout escalated and expanded relatively quickly, reaching additional European territories and the US of late.

Following the Wi-Fi-limited version, America’s only 4G LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 model is being treated as we speak to an Android Oreo makeover. Verizon subscribers should be able to simply download and install the numerous UI tweaks, performance enhancements and security revisions over-the-air, although a nationwide spread could still take a few more days.

Either way, expect your tablet’s security patches to only be raised to the April 1 level, with Samsung’s proprietary SmartThings app replacing Quick connect, a high contrast keyboard mode added to the mix, along with standard build O stuff like background limits, Autofill functionality, Picture-in-Picture capabilities, and notification dots.

Remember, this is a very costly device we’re talking about here, still fetching $599.99 and up at Verizon, bundled with an S Pen but not also a keyboard, packing 4GB RAM, 32GB internal storage and sporting a beautiful QXGA (2048 x 1536 pixels) Super AMOLED screen with HDR video playback support.
