      It’s a nice place to be, living the boring OS life with nothing breaking, updating without ever factory resetting.

        It means the OS is maturing, and has all th most necessary things. It is a good thing, indeed.

        And yeah, our magic bricks have gotten to the point where it’s almost difficult to know what more one could want.

        Man I remember scouring the XDA forums every other week for the ROM that provided the best combo of battery life, performance and features and having tens to pick from just for my phone

        I’ve not even bothered rooting my phone for years

      I’m actually pretty excited for this version due to app cloning being added to AOSP, as well for predictive back, but IMO that will be something that will take a couple of years before it gets going to the point where we couldn’t imagine living without it.

      Android 13 that was rather eeeh, but that one was mostly a refinement over 12

      The reduction in features/openness is definitely noticed each update…

      Never would I have imagined so quickly going from “I need an unlocked bootloader so I can have new, now” to “Ugh, what are they changing this time?”

    One month… I get delaying it, but why not a week instead of a whole month when betas are supposedly over?
