That’s exactly what we’re complaning about. Major release cycle used to be much longer. Now they have this need to break things all the time. I hate the new bubble settings UI, and that everything keeps getting worse to use instead of better.
I’m sorry I don’t see what the problem is here. This is a typical release schedule.
iOS has the same schedule (major release yearly). At least Google supports and patches for over 3 years. Apple is supporting 17 and 18 and that’s it. Android is still patching 12-15.
Mobile hardware is probably the fastest developing
corner of consumer electronics…between processors, screens, and battery technology. Of course software will have to change fast to keep up.
Y’all don’t understand semantic versioning.
Google does a major release pretty much yearly.
Major releases are for breaking changes.

Then…don’t upgrade?

Not upgrading is not an option if you don’t want your highly connecting device to remain secure.
Now what does that say about regular major releases?
