About the security content of iOS 15.8.5 and iPadOS 15.8.5

Bunch of negativity on Apple UI recently, but you gotta give Apple credit for supporting really old phones. Google Pixel, forget about it lol

Pixels 8 and later get 7 years. Not as good as Apple but reasonable.

Pixels 6-7 got 5 years. I'd say that's on the low end of okay.

For "lol" you have to go back to 2021 or earlier. Or look at some of Motorola's offerings.

I left Android at the Nexus 5 after years of buying every Nexus phone. The deal breaker: Despite staying on official ROMs, Google broke audio in video recording such that all my vacation videos with a special friend ended up with garbled audio. My mistake for trusting Google updates right before my trip. You'd think for their reference phone they would test a primary feature like video recording for regressions? Apparently not.

My friend at the time had an iPhone 5, I noticed her phone worked without issue while my Nexus 5 was constantly draining its battery.

I finally bought an Apple device and 11 years later never looked back. Finally said goodbye to Windows & Linux as well. I presume this is how many Apple conversions happen.

Back when Pixel came out I used to argue with a friend because it supposedly had a better camera: I'd always point out that the Pixel phone has its own Wikipedia article describing all its issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_(1st_generation)#Issues

Its been like 12 years since the G1? They are still playing games till this day. Give it a rest already.

I remember when Google broke 911 calling, and decided it was ok to wait for the next maintenance patch to fix it. People could have died, but Google just couldn't hurry up and release an emergency patch.

Apparently it still isn't fixed

911 calling issues have been a persistent problem for Pixel devices.
