apple iphone does not have this problem.
>>
>>51279545
No shit. Android is extremely popular in countries like India, where the average person simply can't afford up-to-date hardware, and hence can only run outdated versions of the OS. This isn't a bug, it's a deliberate design feature. You don't get Android's level of market share by only shipping on high-end devices.
>>
>>51280779

Yeah. Instead, 100% of iOS devices are insecure.

Old iphones are insecure as well, where is the point

at least old iphones get updated

Why are you people so selfish?

Tfw htc one m8 get's marshmallow before 2016. Where's your god now?
>>
>>51283372
Are you saying that like it's supposed to impress me?

The M8 is last years flagship, that's like saying
>hurr hurr the iPhone 6 is getting iOS 9 sometime this year, beat that

And you forget that the 4S from 2011 is running iOS 9 right now.
>>
>>51283397
How well does it run ios9? Or should I say, how bad?
>>
>>51283480
That's not the main point of this thread, we're discussing security

Or to be more specific, vulnerabilities that 87% of Android phones have because they don't get updated.

Why? Because normies are too stupid to update their OS by themselves?

This post is worse than ppl saying they don't use mods on games cause its not how the developers intended.

>want to install updates myself

You do realize that the vast majority of Android phones are under tighter software lockdown than iPhones, right?
>>
>>51283617
>the "i can't"s
>the "i shouldn't"s

Listen, I don't care if retards and stubborn autists have insecure phones. They don't deserve nice things. They deserve elimination from the gene pool.

Maybe if that happened the black IQ would rise a good 10 points and people would stop calling me a nigger
>>
>>51283665
go away jamal
>>
>>51283504
That's not a subject you can shill over, amirite?
>>
>>51283643
So what you're saying is that it's okay for shit to be broken?

Shit like the camera (most common issue with ROMs)?
>>
>>51283665
>calling other people stubborn autists
>while being incapable of comprehending situations other than their own

You're the one with such a limited world view that you seem to be incapable of fathoming an Android device that is either locked down or lacking support such that custom ROMs are not a fucking option. You can run around calling other people autists all you want, but you're the one with the symptoms.
>>
>>51283657
If you buy a phone with a locked bootloader, that's a sign that you're a retarded consumer pleb incapable of doing your research. You made your bed, now lay in it.

Or just buy an iPhone if doing research before spending half your paycheck is too hard for you.

>>51283684
Look's like you're trying to force a topic change to fit your shilling

I wouldn't even consider buying a shitPhone, but how fucking poor are you?
>>
>>51283796
Good to know you ran out of any good arguments

Oh wait, you never had any good ones
>>
>>51283721
I comprehend the situation, and it's pretty obvious that it's a situation only really dumb and ignorant people get themselves into.

Do you expect me to have sympathy for people with shitty HP netbooks that fell apart too? Do you want me to bleed my heart out over some kid with a used car that broke down the week after he bought it?

The word you're looking for is not autistic. It might be "heartless mofo", but in the real world, outside of internet arguments where everyone is grasping at straws like this to argue the superiority of their brand, it's the attitude most people have. You bought shit, you got shit.

Most sane android users recognize that android is only a good platform if you're at least tech literate enough to make sure you'll have an option for good self-support, and that iPhones are the next tier down for morons and lazy fucks.

Suicide watch? Yeah, if you just realized that you've been buying technology like your IQ is lower than your pants.

>>51283804
>iphone
>half a paycheck (paychecks are weekly)
>53 weeks in a year

Do the math

Well at least I don't duck dick for cash.

I don't duck dick for cash either

So, you do suck dick though.

Stop projecting so hard

>>51283997
Actually, most gay porn starts (people that suck dick for money) aren't gay themselves.

Gay porn just pays way better than hetero porn

>>51284086
Sailfish OS

>>51284086
You do know you can just use AOSP?

Which is a leenux OS and no closed source Jewgl stuff
>>
>>51284091
It also comes with Android app support and jails configurable on a per-app basis.
Based Sailfish OS.

>>51279545
percentage of vulnerable apple devices: 100% (all current ios versions have jailbreaks that require you to do nothing but go to a site)

Sheeet, it supports my Nexus 5

I used to run cyanogenmod, but I dropped it because it was eating 12% per anime episode, whereas the stock ROM, rooted and rid of pretty much all bloatware eats 8%. Android 5+ sucks shit.
>>
>>51284190
>anime episode
found your problem
>>
>>51284190
CyanogenMod isn't AOSP

it's based on it

But it isn't AOSP
