Funny, the comment types here are the same as on Youtube:

  1. "I still run Android and it is totally fine, will never switch Android just got worse!"
  2. "Well, money"
  3. "Companies need to support phones longer"
  4. "I just use LineageOS on that device"
  5. Misinformation

I can't think of a single thing that's changed in Android since like Android 9. There's no reason to upgrade.

Just because you cant think of anything, that doesnt say nothing has changed.

Google hides it a bit, but Android 9 is years ago. 5?

Just study the GrapheneOS release notes alone

My point wasn't that nothing changed. My point was that if I haven't noticed the changes, they must not be important. I would be perfectly happy with Android 9 right now. It would make zero difference to me, so why would I go out of my way or pay money for a new phone to upgrade?

Because Android 9 is not supported with security updates since forever
