This is interesting, they’ll try to tell you it’s because the cellular modem requires extra testing by the carriers and manufacturers, but windows can support upgrades that don’t affect an add-in card cell modem… so what gives?
I'm sure they do the same testing but because they control all the hardware and there are so few models to test on, it makes things much easier. I don't think there's anything in particular about Apple's process that would scale better to the number of devices supported by Android.
I don't, and that's not what I said. My point was that Apple doesn't have to think about testing vendor-specific bloatware every release across a wide range of very different devices.
Tbf the pixel phone does have issues making emergency calls, every time they claim to have fixed it we hear another report of an updated phone not being able to connect.
