Not for the Apple apps like the messenger, mail & the web browser it's not.
Android app updates last ~10 years longer than do iOS app security updates.

Yes they do.
It's about 5 years for OS & patches for similar price Android & iOS phones.

Yes they will.
Most app security updates occur ~ten years longer on Android than on iOS.

Ahh, the typical idiotic troll changes his posting name. What a
braindead fuckwit!:-\

Another example where iOS apps are always the shortest lived of all common
consumer operating systems came up today when Steve mentioned the iPhone16.
*Is Astrophotography Coming to the iPhone 14/iOS 16?*

Almost all of Android is open sourced, so it's easy for people to port the
best Google apps (such as the ones Steve talked about iOS maybe getting).

As always, Android lasts (nearly) forever while iOS apps... well...
*iOS just dies*

Sorry. While Android apps live on (essentially) forever... your iOS apps...
*They just die*

Unsupported assertions in just this one post:

1. "Almost all of Android is open sourced"

2. "Android apps live on (essentially) forever"
