My recollection of the Android universe is that not all updates are equally available/supported leaving devices out of date. Is this still the case, or has the provider/devices/OS ecosystem improved? Also, what is the install rate of these updates? Just because an update is available does not mean that it is deployed.
On Android, Chrome updates without a device restart, unlike WebKit on iOS, and updates are faster to roll out.
Yes! As someone using both iOS and Android I cannot believe how Apple still requires a lengthy update process for those critical security updates. On my Pixel phone, installing the update is no slower than a regular restart. Users care about how long the downtime is for software updates. Make it faster, Apple.
Slower to update, but fixed 12 months earlier. Pick you poison...
