All common consumer operating systems update in asynchronous layers.
*Except for the primitive iOS monolith*
That`s just a basic fact.
It`s a basic fact that takes adult cognitive skills to comprehend...

Hi candycanearter07,
I`m going to assume you own adult cognitive skills in my post below.
I do not know if you own adult cognition - but I know morons like Alan
Baker and Carlos and even Steve Scharf & Frank Slootweg don`t own it.
What these morons don`t understand is _how_ operating systems update.
Android updates, much like Windows does... in asynchronous layers.
For example, due to Project Treble, the Qualcomm drivers are updated, over
the Internet, via the Google Play Store update mechanism, asynchronously.
Just like Windows drivers are updated completely outside the realm of the
operating system support itself - such that the support is essentially
forever [1].
This happens with Android & with Windows - but not with the primitive
monolithic slab that iOS is - where those drivers are not updated if the
device can`t be updated to iOS 17 (i.e., to the latest single iOS release).
Same with the key apps such as Chrome, GMail, YouTube, etc., all of which
are updated in Windows and Android completely asynchronously of the
operating system support.
More importantly, there are 34 core modules of Android (the number grows
with every Android release starting with Android 10) which are also updated
forever [1] asynchronously (and these are all donated to the AOSP such that
the support - were it to ever waver - would _still_ go on by the community.
Look up Project Mainline (which has changed names over the years).
All this is how Android updates the operating system in layers.
It`s NOT how the primitive iOS monolith updates - which - again - takes an
adult level of cognition to comprehend as iOS updates as a rigid monolith.
In short, correct understanding of how operating systems update takes an
adult set of cognitive skills - simply because only iOS is a monolith.
The rest of the common consumer operating systems update in asynchronous
layers (most of which are supported forever [1]).
Very few posters to this newsgroup own the adult cognitive skills to
understand a single word that I said above. Do you?
--
[1] Forever here means far longer than the hardware will last but with no
EOL date specified such that the support easily outlasts our need for it.
