    What apps required that much circumventing? I’ve owned solely Androids and I’ve never run into “my phone’s software is so outdated I can’t run XYZ apps on it”

    Do you do something really special on your phone that requires the latest version, in which case your experience is not going to be relevant to most users… Or are you just wayyyyy overstating the actual impact it had on your life?

      I hated that I had to flash updates myself and use MAGISK to circumvent security stuff so I could use my day-to-day apps

      This right here heavily suggests they rooted their phone which is not exactly something recommended for a “one and done” type of phone setup. Not exactly well versed there but I doubt jail breaking an iPhone would net you a better experience than rooting an Android phone. So this, to me, reads like uninformed whining.

      BankID stopped working on older phones (more correctly: older operating systems). It’s absolutely central to daily life in Sweden.
