>iPlebs too tech illiterate to flash custom ROMs and Kernels.
For fucks sake there's even a windows GUI tool to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP. That means fastboot commands don't need to be issued from the command prompt anymore. There's no excuse.

>ROM
it's a Firmware you moron

I have Nexus 5 since release date. Still good.

>>56166936
My (Android) phone was designed to last at least 5 years.

Nexus 6 checking in.

Still good.

>mfw still using Nexus 5 while all my friends have upgraded from iPhone 5s to 6, to 6s.

Yeah, not in my experience.

>>56167502
Me too, let's hope Google releases the N upgrade for it, the SD800 is more than capable even in 2016

https://9to5mac.com/2015/12/29/apple-lawsuit-ios-9-performance/
>In a new class action lawsuit, Apple is being accused of deceptive trade practices and false advertising due to its claims of iOS 9 being compatible with older iOS devices, primarily the iPhone 4s. The lawsuit claims that iOS “significantly interferes” with the performance of the iPhone 4s and that Apple is in the wrong for not allow users to downgrade to older versions of the operating system.
Rev up those updates.

>>56166936
I bought by nexus 4 on release. i was a very mad customer when they decided not to put android 5 on it. fuck rooting it, i'd have to manually update each version.

bought a 5s and never going back to that fragmented piece of shit platform.

iPhones are planned to be obsolete. They force you to update your phone so it becomes slower and don't let you go back so you'll have to buy the newest model.

>battery died on my S4 after 3 years of use
>went across the street and got a new one for $10 and replaced it in seconds because the S4 permits such luxuries
git on my level

>>56167494
No shit Sherlock, they're obviously not read only. The term ROM in the Android community is used to describe a firmware. A custom ROM is a custom firmware. A stock ROM is a stock firmware.

>>56167545
I honestly wouldn't hate Apple nearly as much if they allowed downgrades. To them signing a firmware in iTunes servers is nothing. They're just being bitches. If Macs can do it, iOS devices should too.

>>56166936
>nexusshit
Who cares

>>56166936
Nice clickbait. I thought for a second they were going to show some interesting stats on actual device health.

>>56167494
>it's a Firmware you moron

huh, its like you update that or some shit.

Also, the Nexus phones life cycle is 3 years or 18 months, unlike the iPhone which is 6 months. You know, the "S" version that comes out like clockwork every year right after you buy the "New" iPhone.

Remember kids, just because someone says something on the internet doesnt make it true.

I would post source about the iPhone lifecycle, but its just a bunch of shilled news sites, nothing directly from Apple. They litteraly say roumor in every one of them.

I still have a Nexus 5 too. Runs CM13 like a champ. Arguably the best Nexus ever made aside from battery life.

>>56166936
>LAGDROIDS
No, Nexusfags on suicide watch.

Dafuq you talking about? I got Nougat on my N6 and I won't be upgrading until that sexy, sexy Moto Z gets an unlocked bootloader and drops on T-Mo, or I save up for the unlocked one. For the record, I'd be keeping the N6 if I hadn't fallen head over heels in love with the Z. That and VR will be phenomenal on the thing.

>>56167713
How is your N6? Have you activated the RGB LED on the top speaker? Also, do you get a flicker when the brightness is turned down and on charge?

>>56167690
>he has to manually update his phone like some poo

>>56167761
wants a phone that "just werks", like some fucking normie

The only way to get an Android phone to last is if you root it, put a custom rom like Cyanogenmod that has no Google Services and no 1st party bloatware, and strictly use F-Droid for getting new apps. A five-year old phone with that setup is still snappy as fuck.

>Used my nexus 5 for almost 5 years before selling it
>Loved the absolute shit out of that phone
>Get an LG G5
>Kinda miss it

If you buy a decent phone and not treat it like shit, it will last you a hell of a lot better than an iphone desu.

>>56167761
>omg I have to take it in the ass from Apple and their device killing updates

If you dont know how to root and flash, then you dont belong on /g/. Applefags even Jailbreak their phones and dont complain about doing it. Fuck off normie and get the fuck off my board.

You were saying?

>>56167793
Bruh, the S3 still has some mad power

my 3GS did everything i needed from a phone for 5 years. dont know how long people usually keep their phone, but that felt like a pretty good lifespan for something that got beat around in my pocket that whole time. got an SE to replace it this spring and it seems about as solidly built

there's no use in keeping old phones on the latest firmware version if they're becoming more and more unusable

not apple fanboys, that's for sure

>>56167906

Nice argument.

>>56166936
My Nexus 4 is still doing nicely.

Cant u not even upgrade to newer android oses with android phones?

>>56168294
>be me
>have nexus 5
>came with 4.4 kitkat
>now on 6.0.1cmarshmallow
U wot m8?

>>56166936
All this article shows is that Apple can support older products with newer OS's because they hardly ever innovate.

>android tech moves faster
>as a result, phones are "outdated" quicker
>the phones are still as strong as when they were bought
>newer ones are just stronger

so iphones have a long lifespan because an iphone 7s+qqlgbts3XX is the same shit as an iphone 2?

Do they last for two years? Because if so I don't really give a fuck about either in terms of how long they're good for past that point.
