My recollection of the Android universe is that not all updates are equally available/supported leaving devices out of date.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.
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.
