I don't generally get on these threads, and I even more generally don't reply to Swordmaker because these folks are cultists, pure and simple, and there is no point in replying to them. Their beliefs are not fact based.

I made no attempt to "refute" him because I have no interest in his religion.

Android devices are updated regularly. I have no idea where you got the impression--except maybe from iSheeple--that they aren't. I just had an update two days ago to the Moto G5 Plus, and that phone is unlocked, OEM. My S8 is updated all the time. My wife's S6 is regularly updated. My rooted Google Pixel is updated regularly. Yes: OS and security patches when needed. And I would not say they're updated more or less often than my iPhone X.

Read what Android researchers in Germany said on April 13, 2018. They found that many Android Manufacturers CLAIMED to have updated, but merely reset the update calendar, showing they'd installed an update, but HAD NOT.

These ANDROID RESEARCHERS said that many actually did update, but many more did not.

By the way Fred, get back to us next year about your Moto G5 Plus and tell us if Lenovo updated it during the NEXT year. Now it’s just one year old. Samsung is pretty good about pushing users to update. . . but there are over 600 other Android makers. How is THEIR record of updating their products? Their record is no where near what the four of five top Android manufacturers is in getting updates out.
