Bloomberg: Apple targets 2028 release date for its own electric vehicle::Project Titan, the Apple electric car project, has been underway since 2015. But the project has faced numerous delays and…
Let me guess. It’ll only operate on Apple-approved roads, can only be charged by Apple branded chargers and get bricked after 2 years when “It’s no longer supported”
Look, I dislike Apple’s walled-garden as much as the next guy, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers. The iPhone 7 only recently stopped getting updates, and it was from 2016. The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.

Which is completely meaningless when you can’t actually repair failed hardware.

What “standard” are you referring to? Both Samsung and Google have committed to 7 years at this point.

Only on certain models.
Pretty much every smaller Android manufacturer only gives two years of updates. Google and Samsung are the biggest two, and it’s great that they’re giving longer support, but if you want to try another manufacturer (Asus, for example), you’re getting two years.
Apple users are getting settlement checks starting this month because Apple lost its lawsuit over intentionally throttling previous model phones with their “updates”
That’s what moved me off the Apple ecosystem. Can’t use any of my apps unless I update my phone, every update made my phone continually slower.
Indeed. As much as I love shitting on Apple, the lifespan of their phones is one of only two things that has made me ever consider an iPhone. They’re great on that.
