iPhone 6S getting iOS 14 is like the Galaxy S6 getting Android 11. Imagine that.

At this point, saying Android has a serious problem when it comes to phones receiving reliable Android upgrades is getting old. We've written about it a lot - even I, specifically, have written about it a lot. You've told us your thoughts. We all get it. Even with all that, though, the latest announcement of iOS 14 really sends the message home.

This week, Apple officially confirmed that the 2020 iteration of iOS will land on every iPhone since the iPhone 6S. That's a phone that came out in September 2015, which is nearly five years ago. [...]

Meanwhile, the flagship Android device from 2015 was the Samsung Galaxy S6. The most recent official version of Android that phone received was Android 7 Nougat, which dropped in 2016. Of course, it was well into 2017 before the Galaxy S6 actually got it. Since then: nothing.

Apple deserves praise for being pretty much the only smartphone manufacturer supporting its devices for this long. Despite years of attempts and failed promises, Android devices still barely get two years of updates, and even if, they arrive with major delays.
