Pffft! They already don't care about compatibility. At least when it comes to Android. I have a major beef with this. Weren't we promised X many years of support after endless complaints? It's still a joke to this day. I have a number of Android tablets, running 2.2 (I believe), 4.2, 4.3, 6.0 and most recently, 13.0. Of these, only the one on 4.2 ever get an OS upgrade (from 4.1 -> 4.2). When I realized that 6.0 was still going to be the same (it'll die with the same OS it was purchased with, with no chance of ever getting any sort of update), I told myself I was done with Android. Realistically, Android 6.0 is a non-starter in 2024. So like every fool out there, I finally broke down and bought yet another piece of hardware running 13. My current phone's on Android 9. The most recent update for it goes back to September 2019. It never offered anything newer. This annoys me to no end. I have laptops that - seriously - are 20 years old, and could still run Windows 10 if I only bothered to install it. It would not be pretty, but it'd still work. At least that would be my decision.
