This Chart Shows How Long It Takes IOS and Nexus Devices to Receive Updates.
When you buy a new phone, you might be wise to know how long it will receive software updates. This chart will help you understand what each platform is like by comparing iOS and Nexus support timelines.
This chart from Android Police shows how long each iOS and Nexus device continues to receive updates. While the chart doesn’t check for the quality of these updates – on older devices, some updates may lack features or even degrade phone performance – it paints a pretty clear picture of how long you can expect to see support for a device.
On average, iOS devices have longer support times. Nexus devices have not performed as well in the past, although the future may be less clear as many of the longest-supported devices are still supported to this day, so we do not know when they will be disabled. It is worth keeping in mind, however, that Nexus devices are generally supported for much longer than most Android devices. At least that’s a pretty strong signal that Android OEMs need to step up their game.
