Android does the same shit, and I hate it.

My OnePlus has been solid for the last five years. Idk about the Pixel, though.

Yeah I've never had this issue with Android, not least of which is because you're able to just root it and install whatever ROM/OS you want. If Google pushes an unstable update just wipe that shit and put Lineage on it.

Apple only gets away with it because they put their users in a walled garden where you have no choice but to receive Apple's updates on their timeframe. I quit that life in 2006 when they updated my iPod Touch into uselessness and haven't come across the problem again since switching to Android.

Back around android 3-6 it was more common, really hasn't been a thing for a while IMO. Have non-daily driver Oneplus 5t and 6t, both Lineage os 14, they work well.

Yeah it was an older model phone, so it could be the reason as someone else mentioned that older android versions had that issue
