Anecdotally" Everyone I know and works with me as well as several google results point to the same issue.

What are the Google results of issues. “Everyone you know” is anecdotal....

Am I supposed to know how many updates there were between those years automatically or how is that related to what I wrote?

Well first, seeing that both Apple and Google have released major updates every year since they have developed mobile phone OSs. It’s not too hard to figure out.

Sure there are. You can take the google brands,Motorola

No Google brands have usually had updates for two years tops.

or I don't know, just put your own OS on it.

See how well that works in practice....

Or if you are the usual consumer who just wants to have a new phone every x-years you can just buy two for the price of one IPhone. So many possibilities....

Since an iPhone actually maintains somewhat of a resale value, you still don’t come out ahead by buying a phone every two years. Consumers are holding on to phones longer now that they aren’t being subsidized by the carrier.

Good you cut "and work with" and the part with the other OS out otherwise this discussion might get serious and we don't want that do we?

See, that is another issue. I've been asking around on boards for how to solve the issue since it's so annoying. Either I got no answer or it was something along your lines "It must be your fault because Apple wouldn't make such a mistake". Meanwhile having an issue on Android means that you either already find the solution or you post on one of the dev boards where people are eager to find a solution. Or you just use another app because there is no obnoxious system mail app in it's ridiculous locked in environment.

Android 3&4 have been released 2011 so this doesn't add up here too. But the whole thing here is ridiculous for reasons stated below. I got that initial statement from this IT magazine: https://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/meldung/iOS-12-offenbar-auch-...

> See how well that works in practice....

It works out fantastic I did that on every phone I had and have been doing it for friends and family.

> Since an iPhone actually maintains somewhat of a resale value,

Well as you are reselling already to an audience that is used to overpaying, it doesn't say anything about the actual value. Besides that, if you end up with one of the non supported ones, there is no way to put a different OS on it or is it?

> Consumers are holding on to phones longer now that they aren’t being subsidized by the carrier.

No idea where you're from but over here in Europe carriers still give you phones and the phone market is not dead or something like that. People buy new phones and even if they wouldn't, it wouldn't change anything about the argument I brought up.

Asking What around on boards? What’s the issue?

Posting a German website on an English speaking forum doesn’t help too mUCB.


So now that you even dropped that selective quoting you stopped refusing to accept that there MIGHT be an issue (even though it's supported since 2009!), you are interested what the actual issue is? Seriously? Try looking up. I've explained it where I had hope for some reasonable answers and please spare me your further opinions. This is not how communication works. eod

PS. since you seem unable to work with google: https://translate.google.de/?hl=de&tab=wT


And you still haven’t said what the issues are. If you are having random issues with built in Mail client, are you having those same issues with the Outlook app for iOS?
