    Or more devious, intentionally bricking the phone to push more people to upgrade. You know those mandatory updates for 7-8 years aren’t popular with manufacturers.

        I think Occam’s razor applies more here; The simplest explanation is often the correct one. Why does a multi-billion corp ship a broken update? Even if testing is on the back burner, profit margins are the ultimate reason. Less testing to save money or intentionally busted to force upgrades to make more money.

        At this point I just want Linux driver support from manufacturers and let the community handle features.
