This is the iPhone 5. Released in 2012, It will get iOS 10. How many android phone from 2012 will get the latest android N?
Zero
/thread
>>55063320
thanks to the os being open source and projects like cyanogenmod, we get newer on older devices...
Those in the same price range as the iphone 5.
>barely any of the """new""" """"""features"""""" will even work
>will be even slower than it was on 9
Amazing.
>>55063320
It's going to run so terribly that you will end up buying a new phone anyway.
Plus, iOS updates are irreversible and purposefully designed to make the older models run like shit.
>>55063320
It will get iOS 10, which will make it unusably slow. Apple doesn't roll out updates for old devices because they're nice. They roll out updates to slow down old devices so people have to buy new ones. Apple is notorious for using software updates for planned obsolescence.
Stop being so naive, kid.
>>55063369
Kek but no
The support for my HTC One X ended after 4.2.2
>>55063364
This would be the case if we didn't have a big pooinloo issue on XDA. Only Nexus devices are getting support. If you have something like an HTC EVO 4G LTE, good fucking luck. And yeah, that was a flagship HTC phone. Where is N for that phone? NOWHERE.
>>55063320
Yeah, nice of them to supprt old phones but this >>55063372
All of the people I know hated iOS 8 when they updated their 4S's, it was obviously made with new phones in mind.
i have an iphone 5. i'm not ever gonna update above 9.3.1.
>>55063320
Zero, since the phones are not powerful enough to run it and most Android phone makers don't engage in planned obsolescence.
Those updates are meant to gimp the performance of older phones, so you stupid fucks will want to be the newest ones. Fuck off apple shill
>>55063404
Actually iOS 9 made 4s really fast.
8 was shit.
>>55063445
>Those updates are meant to gimp the performance of older phones
Not really. my iphone 5 is running perfectly on iOS 9. And that is what keeps me from buying new phones.
If I had an Adroid stuck on an older version I would be much more tempted to upgrade.
>>55063404
I ran 9 on a 4s and it was pretty decent
>>55063476
>Not really. my iphone 5 is running perfectly on iOS 9.
That is not typical. The majority of people report dramatically worse performance on new versions.
>>55063490
I guess this is kind of a pointless disagreement, but my 4s was fucking unbearable with iOS 8 and 9. Literally everything lagged. I don't know what you consider "decent"
>>55063521
iPhone 5 user here: iOS 9 runs fine.
>>55063521
>The majority of people report dramatically worse performance on new versions
Bullshit. Source or gtfo
Sure there have been some times where my phone lagged a couple of times in the past. But it all got fixed. You know why?
Software updates.
>>55063374
sure
>>55063521
>>55063445
>>55063388
I have an iPhone 5, with iOS 9. Runs perfectly fine.
>>55063372
Why the quotes? Are they not features? Are they not new?

>HTC EVO 4G LTE
>A carrier branded phone from a shitty carrier that nobody bought

Sometimes i question why I hang with you retards
you can install win10 on old pc and it runs just fine
why can't mobile phones?
>>55063320
The HTC HD2 runs every mobile OS out there, how many does the iPhone 5 run?

can't run iOS.
>cost 3x more than a decent android phone in the first place
>now a slow piece of shit
>IOS 10 will make it even worse
>>55063742
Are these still usable with recent OS's at a decent speed? Not gonna end up with massive lag just trying to scroll down a page am I?
>>55063863
He said every mobile OS. Not shit from Applel
>>55063453
fuck off apple shill
I have a fucking 4s in my hand right now running ios 9 and it runs like shit
>>55063453
>iPhone 4S on iOS9
>fast
>''''''''''''''''really fast'''''''''''''''
come on anon, i'm an apple faggot an even I can't deny that's bullshit
>>55063369
Galaxy S3 was released in 2012 and it hasn't received Lollipop "yet".
>>55063521
bull fucking shit. runs buttery smooth on my 5, and increased battery life compared to 7 and 8. will update to 10 day one of public release.
>>55063320
Well as I still have this shit phone I am staying on 8.x something as it's still jailbroken and I don't need any of the new features that will only slow this old phone down more
>>55063898
What sort of mental gymnastics did you go through to come to the conclusion that iOS is somehow not a mobile OS?
>>55063320
It's likely going to run like shit, though. I have an iPhone 5S and I wonder if iOS 10 will slow it down.
>>55063889
I've seen youtube videos of it running marshmallow at a decent pace
>>55064318
I'm using an iPhone 6 and even I feel that fear. wow, fuck planned obsolescence.
>>55064604
iPhone 6 will probably run it like a charm. Considering the iPhone 5 is apparently still supported, I figure the 5S will run it decently to pretty well. Probably the last full update to do so, though.
iOS nerds are forced to update. Unlike Android, after every new iOS, apps generally have the new iOS version as a strict requirement.
>>55064642
yeah you're right. anyway,if those lockscreen features are 3d touch-only i'm not updating. there nothing ''new'' apart from that (for my uses)
>>55063374
edgy
>>55063399
If apple licensed out iOS to companies like HTC, then yes, those phones would never get updates. Nexus is almost the only line of Android phones with reliable dev support.
>>55063730
Most PC's, which users are trying to upgrade now, started out with relatively high specs compared to Window's minimum requirements. Smartphones have had a much steeper curve in performance. Also, google RISC processing.
>buying or running anything other than nexus with cm
Only have yourself to blame. Muh fancy designs and cameras...
It would be great if Sony did a Nexus though
Just to add to this bullshit thread, I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 9.2.something and recently got an iPhone SE and in day to day use, the upgrade isn't even that noticeable.
iOS 9 on older devices is very well optimised, it actually runs buttery smooth even when pointlessly entering and exiting multitasking fast and swiping around purposely trying to make it "lag". Mostly, the only areas where the older phones fall behind are either in 3rd party apps (not Apple's fault) or areas where it never used to be faster in the first place.
I can even provide video proof if I fucking have to
>>55063961
>>55063998
It did for me. iOS 8 was laggy. 9 improved performance a lot.
>>55065502
>buttery smooth
Shill.
Also this reminded me of the 1080 reveal and that chink bullshitter making jokes about 60hz gaming being like butter and then tripping over his own fucking words
>>55065502
And to add to this, releasing iOS 8/9 for A5 devices might have been a bad idea, but I think users would have been equally as upset if they ended support early. Besides, a big part of iOS updates are security patches
>>55065535
No, the animations are as smooth as on the newest devices
THIS 5 YEAR OLD SON OF A BITCH IS RUNNING ANDROID 6 WITH SNAPPY MULTIWINDOW SUPPORT AND BASICALLY, YOU ARE A FUCKING STUPID. FIND OUT HIS SECRETS

>>55065484
And then hold the camera api keys hostage like they did with the nexus aosp project? No thanks.
>>55063320

>Only Nexus devices are getting support
Galaxy S2 user here running CM13 (Android 6.0.1).
The device is from 2011.
What now, applefags?
>>55063374
>>55063608
Hes not entirely wrong. They used to have connection problems after updating and would run a lot slower. Didn't notice this when I updated my 5s though.
>>55065589
Who gives a fuck about camera on a phone
Are you a photographer or a virgin
>Galaxy S2 user here running CM13 (Android 6.0.1).
>The device is from 2011.
DELETE THIS
>>55065560
Is there a video of this? I don't believe it would run smoothly
I ha e a iPhone 5 in a drawer just because.
Just booted it up. it s on iOS 8 and it's slow as fuck.
Both of these memes are nothing to get asspained over.
>>55065560
By the way, what you are seeing in this picture is an actual Xperia Play (1ghz single core shit tier arm processor with 512mb ram) running Android 6. And I shit you not, it is actually really really smooth. A lot smoother than Android 2.1 is and if you completely disable window transitions, it becomes usable as a daily driver in 2016 (save for the awful camera).
>b-but muh lagdroid
nice meme there
>>55065607
Wasn't that the reason this guy asked for a Sony nexus? The fuck do I care about a camera, I use a nexus 5x.
>>55065616
I'll take one this week and post it in the /spg/. Yes, it works, I actually played Ocarina of time while watching Video Girl Ai.
This will be one of those "updates" that will render the iPhone 5 laggy, slow and unresponsive, essentially completely ruining the device.
Have fun. Any android device from 2012 would experience the same problems when using 2016 firmware.
>>55065614
the iPad 2 is from 2011 and is officially getting iOS 10 :^)
>>55065633
No mainly for build quality and aesthetics
>>55065660
[citation needed]
A 2011 device working just fine
>>55065633
>>55065660
this looks like another iOS "8" release so I'm not expecting performance to take much of a hit, it might even improve performance on older devices
>>55065690
I have a citation in my pants for you. Open wide.
>>55065689
Are you of homosexual orientation, friend?
>>55063961
Clean install?
I dont think so.
>>55063320
iPhone 5 owner here.
1. I don't like the fact that NightShift is exclusive for 64-bit processor only (iPhone 5+).
2. iOS doesn't have firewall for WiFi, we have one for 3G/4G connection though but it's not enough
Jailbreaking iOS is getting harder, so those features should exist in iOS 9 / 10.
>>55065699
>it might even improve performance on older devices
We will talk once the update rolls out and hordes of angry iPhone owners will start complaining about a drop in performance.
Wouldn't be the first time apple has pulled something like this
>>55065833
I know it has happened before, but there's nothing in this update that should impact performance in a substantial way
>tfw the time has come, my 4S is not supported anymore
rip in ribberinos my first smartphone, you were great ;__;
>>55063320
>>55063399
My Xperia Active (2011) runs a 6.0.1-based Android via Cyanogenmod. It had marshmallow BEFORE my Z5compact.
>updating your iPhone
Shigg
this is the Nokia 3500. Released in 2007, it can make phone calls and receive them as well. This is the only type of phone you ever need, stop being a faggot.
>>55066586
I had that but in blue before I got the iPhone 4S. Ironically enough I've now owned my 4S for a year longer than I had that Nokia, and the Nokia had completely decayed when I ditched it, whereas only the speaker broke on in the iPhone.
I'd argue that Nokia was already shit then. Now the original 3110, that was the best. 3210 lasted me years too, but the 3110 was practically indestructible.
>>55063320
most of the popular ones, with CyanogenMod™©®

International i9300 model has nightlies but I'm waiting for stable. Till then I have to figure out how to get into recovery mode with a broken volume up button, without repairing it. Any ideas?
>>55066964
Oh yeah I'm talking about CM 13 btw.

>>55063320
Yet another reason to purchase the new Apple iPhone 6S Plus.
>>55063320
The HTC HD2 came out in '09, has basically every OS that isn't made by Apple AFAIK.
New iOS versions for old devices isn't for your comfort, they need to lag your device so you will buy new one.
>>55067876
Still better than a lagging lagdroid on new devices
>>55067876
Proofs?
>>55064265
>no file explorer
>can't transfer files through bluetooth to other devices except applel
>can't even customize phone's theme without having to jailbreak it

IOS 9 improved the speed on my iPhone 5 compared to iOS 8. How about you stop being naive.
>>55063364
i came here specifically to talk about cyanogen mod
i have galaxy s5, slower than ever. what are your personal thoughts on cyanogen mod? does it support social media apps?
>>55063372
That's a good thing though. I'd rather have a still working phone than be told "upgrade or enjoy your paper weight". For all the shit Apple does, the fact that they keep their phones working and updated so long without carrier bullshit is commendable.
>>55063374
Ex Sprint sales rep here, yeah, they want you to get rid of your phone. You took the bait too. Its called device caniblism (fuck you I know its wrong, I just had surgery. Oxycodine is a hell of a thing) They would love you to update it so they can run more CPU intense processes that the 6/6S/7 can handle. I promise you, its ment to fuck it up.
My Nexus 4 is still getting continued support, and will no doubt get N shortly after launch, with all the features intact
Feels good being able to maintain my own things
>>55068266
Why did you quit
>>55068264
>>>55063372
>That's a good thing though. I'd rather have a still working phone than be told "upgrade or enjoy your paper weight". For all the shit Apple does, the fact that they keep their phones working and updated so long without carrier bullshit is commendable.
How is android 4.2 is a paperweight? It is still more feature filled than iOS9.
None because supporting 4 year old hardware is a waste of time.
>>55063320
Galaxy S3 with Android M reporting in.
>>55068649
>samshit
>>55066964
You just need volume down and power button to get into recovery, no? Heck, you can also use volume down to cycle options. I don't see a problem there.
>>55068657
Was the best phone in existence at the time.
>>55063320
Why would I even want that? I would just buy a new phone. 2012 was 4 years ago. I don't want a phone with 1gb of ram.
>>55063320
Thats part of Apples planned obsolescence. They don;t update your phone to give you sparkly new features and aesthetics, they do it to crush your cpu and battery life with data calls so you get fed up with the thing and finally shell out 800 bucks for the new one.
>>55066964
Are you already using CM? You can add "boot into recovery" in the power menu or download an app like rom toolbox that can boot into recovery.
>>55068698
this desu senpai
>>55068679
True facts. I like my iPhones, but the Galaxy S3 will forever be my favorite phone I owned.
>>55068713
You have been noticed
>>55068691
>1gb of ram
2 versions later and they still haven't improved anything. My 4 year old phone has more ram than that.
It will be just like when the iPhone 4 got its last iOS update. The phone was so slow with that update that it was unusable. Pretty much every iPhone 4 owner was forced to upgrade phones.
So yeah, enjoy that iPhone 5 while you can still use it. As soon as you accept the update, your phone might as well be bricked.
>>55068742
It's like that with every iPhone. By the time my 3Gs got it's last update I was pulling my hair out over how slow it was.
>>55066964
Adb shell into it you mega faggot holy shi
>>55068223
s5 user here
if u dont care about camera quality definetly give it a try, runs butter smooth and u wont feel the need for a new phone until it dies, i also get better battery life with cyanogen than i had with stock
>>55069142
is it just poor quality or totally inoperable? if i took pictures with my dslr and dropped them to my phone, could i upload it to social media? snapchat and instagram are the big ones, i do alot of PR for my school
>>55063320
My Galaxy Note 2 N7100 is updated to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, with ResurrectionRemix firmware. Try doing something like that with iphone 4 which is as old as my phone. Fuck you apple fag.
>>55069424
quality is good, just not as good as stock, u shouldnt have any problems using ur social media apps, the only "drawback" u can have is the camera and is still pretty good, meanwhile u get a lot better performance and looks (fuck touchwiz)
>>55069466
this.
a person with a brain can do a lot more things with an android phone than with a retarded iphone
>>55069482
that sounds great, can you specifically tell me what version you are running? just incase. i cannot type a sentence into a text box without it stuttering horribly.
>>55069659
right now im running the latest resurrection remix build, is a rom based off cyanogenmod but with more features while maintaining the same performance if not better, check the xda section for the s5
>>55069482
also thank you for your insight, have an old picture that has to do with a cellphone.
when i install c-mod its going to erase all existing photos and everything?
>>55069702
kek
flashing cm doesnt erase ur media files, so photos, videos and music wont disappear, contacts and sms might dissapear tho, so back em up just in case
>>55069733
awesome. im seeing a 'US Cellular klteusc' for the s5, lots of other options but they seem specific to certain providers and/or countries. am i on the right path?
>>55069773
yes, just check that u download the version for ur phone and u should be ok
