       Just discovered that my Moto G Power (2021) will not be upgradeable to Android 12. I literally bought this phone new last year in March. It's not even a year old. In terms of hardware, it's fine. But now I have to find out how long it will be getting security updates.

       Wow! Now is the last month I'll be getting updates to my Moto G Power (2021)! Doesn't even get support beyond 2 years!

       When I bought my iPhone 6S back in 2015, it lasted me for 7 years. It even has iOS 15 running right now!

       @atomicpoet ya, as much as people like to complain about forced obsolescence, and while Apple certainly participates, it is definitely not the worst when it comes to operating longevity. I’ve been using their devices for over 25 years. Can’t think of one I owned for less than 5 years that I didn’t physically break. 7-10 years of useful life is not usual.

       @chrisale @atomicpoet I've been using mine for 8 years on average. Some of us are careful with our devices :o

       Just switched my SIM over to my iPhone SE. I originally bought this as a testing device—not for daily use. But knowing I won’t be receiving security updates on my Android device makes me feel vulnerable. What’s silly is that in all other ways, I prefer my Android phone to my iPhone.

       Okay, I will allow that my iPhone has a better camera. But the screen real estate and battery power is so much better on my Android. Those were the two reasons I went with the Moto G Power.

       I keep wondering—maybe this is silly—how bad would it be to get a Pinephone?Probably a bad idea, but I wouldn’t mind using something other than iOS and Android.
