According to your responses to the poll from last week, most users find Android 13 to be an exciting release. Most of you are excited to test out Android's most recent version, which includes new security features and customization choices for the Material You user interface.
Sadly, about 26% of respondents state that Android 13 won't be installed on their phones. One of Android's weaknesses is still its OS fragmentation, and many devices introduced in the last two years won't get the latest upgrade at all. For the others, depending on the brand and type of device, the update won't arrive for several weeks or months. We sincerely hope that more manufacturers would follow in the footsteps of some, like Samsung, who are doing better than others at providing their devices with timely upgrades.up and hopefully even overtake the Koreans in the year to come.
A little more than 14% of you said that you are considering using Android 13 stock. While not precisely stock, the Pixel experience is as lightweight as possible and offers Android as Google intended. The majority of developers offer their own skin, which typically alters Android's appearance and feel—for better or worse.
With the impending release of the iPhone 14 series, some voters are looking to swap sides and go for iOS. As it releases its most recent iOS version updates for numerous devices on the same day, Apple has the advantage when it comes to software updates. The earliest devices capable of receiving the impending iOS 16 upgrade are the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, both of which debuted in 2017.
A small minority are sticking to Android 12 even if their phone is eligible for Android 13 - if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it as the saying goes. To be fair, Android 13 is more of an iterative update anyway and major software updates may mess with your settings and workflow so there's that as well.
