Re: Wish this had been publicized before
OK, so the 1% of users who would 1) know about the ability to install custom ROMs etc. and 2) wouldn't be worried they'd break it by trying to follow instructions they found on the web can take advantage of that option.
So because of that Apple providing upgrade OPTIONS for years after the device has been purchased is planned obsolescence, but Android OEMs providing almost nothing after sale except they (mostly accidentally) provide a way to force upgrades that few know about and where the end user is totally on their own isn't? Pretty weak logic there.
