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.
