This month is the final month of guaranteed major and security updates, and we already know Android 14 won’t land in the Pixel 4a (though it will in the Pixel 4a 5G as it has guaranteed updates until November).
So for those of you who own that phone, what do you plan to do with it? Are you going to keep using it for a couple more years without the updates? Install a custom ROM (which one?)? Or are you maybe planning to get a new phone (a Pixel?)?
If you still own an older Pixel phone, how are you keeping it alive?
Install a rom that continues to receive updates
Disclaimer: I’m a 15 year iPhone owner, so I don’t have practical experience with this, but this is the angle I’d be researching, were in your situation. Or considering an iPhone, lol, Apple is still updating 10 year old phones. Of course, I don’t expect this crowd to take that last comment seriously ;)
Least smug Apple user
Nothing but love. I know better than to think I’m going to convince anyone. And honestly, I think everyone has the right to personal preference.
My dude, I’m right there with you.
It’s all down to preferences. I hate iOS, but only for myself. I can’t stand using it, I don’t like the way iPhones are designed, etc, etc. But (other than joking with friends), that’s where it ends. This isn’t a religion, we don’t have to convert people lol.
Hell, I end up bitching about google’s bullshit more than I go around praising android.
This is the way
bro are u on the ipod touch or something
I haven’t used the same iPhone for 15 years… I upgrade every 4 years or so.
what are you doing here outside of your walled garden
Most of the services I use are on the web anyway, so the platform doesn’t block me from doing much.
I’d like a little more root access for advanced automation, but the built in tools are getting better all the time.
That said, I like the effort that app developers put into their products, and I prefer the hardware design. Personal preference type stuff.
