Thanks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago Qualcomm being what they are is the reason Apple was able to provide a better lifespan for their phones for like a decade (you'd get 5-6 years of iOS major version upgrades compared to 0-2 on Android phones). Google actually pushed the Android ecosystem to do better by creating its' own Tensor SoCs which they support for longer... But they don't really make the drivers for those open source either. So we're still not doing better in that regard. permalink fedilink source parent
