Wait until you find out that Android 16 is coming out in Q2 2025.
And it will be exactly the same as 15,14,13...

Because if they slow down people won't upgrade as fast because the manufacturers pledge "X number of versions" updates not years. So if Google slows down manufacturers would have to support longer. Gotta keep that money flowing in because Google gets a cut of sales.
They are hurting themselves in the long run. People get bored of continuous updates and it means that each release gets way less attention. They should do minor version bumps if anything. Do a 14.1, 14.2 and so on
What? I've never heard of that in my life. Years, yes.
Wut? The major manufacturers I've paid attention to, who've made update support promises, have done "X years" not "X versions"
I've observed this substantially more with iOS updates vs. Android.
It’s not true for either one. Both Apple and Android OEMs pledge support for years not versions.

More children to exploit in those cobalt mines! Can't stop now!
More updates = better, of course!
Most of the updates seem to be features or UI changes that nobody asked for.
Some of them have been pretty nice. However, the release's are more frequent without the changes and improvements. I like all the new APIs and theming but those aren't something you can do in 3 months.

Yeah, they look almost the same. I can't remember the last time I got an update and noticed it.
I can remember updating but it is almost a pointless exercise. (lineage OS requires manual version updates)
Got Android 15 recently. The volume bar is twice as big now! I thought it was just a visual difference but volume is now more finely tuned, as in it goes from 0 to 20 instead of 0 to 10 and steps by 1. (Not sure of the real numbers)
Last update that had a noticeable GUI change for me was when they switched navigation default from 3-button to gesture. Fortunately they still have the option for 3-button.
I liked the introduction of gestures, so much screen space was lost to those buttons.

Following Apple's steps
Does Apple do this? I though they were slower to release new major versions
