Article refrains from drawing conclusions, instead presenting the data. Android is doing better at moving users to newer versions, but the overwhelming majority of users don’t have the current Android OS version nor the previous version, combined.
The issue is how hardware manufacturers treat Android. Most 3rd party manufacturers take months if not years to update their under the hood BS to the latest Android, and they end support after 2 years. All the more reason to go with Pixel devices.
Also carriers they often take forever to update too
Here in Canada, carrier updates are a thing of 10 years ago
I wish Google could force them to upstream their device drivers into Linux mainline they you wouldn’t need their shitty OEM kernels
Samsung is also good at updating most of their smartphones to the latest version of android.
