Android 10 Announced as Google Drops Dessert-Inspired Names

I'm sure 5% of the Android install base will be excited when they get this update sometime in the next year or two.

Found these names childish.

I bet iOS 13 has a higher installed base in 24 hours than Android 10 will have by this time next year.

How cute. Too bad 80 percent of Android phones out there will never get "Android 10".

Oh gosh, these jokes are as old as a dessert based OS naming scheme.... Yes it’s 100% true that vast majority of android devices never get a major update (basically just the google phones and a few flagships). Oh well. The people who buy the phones don’t really seem to care, and if you buy a new phone every 2-3 years (which most people do) then it really doesn’t matter. For majority of products through majority of history, they don’t really “improve” over time. You buy a device (phone, washing machine, car, lawn mower, whatever) and that’s exactly what you get. If you want new features later, you buy a newer device. Apple is the exception here, which I truly appreciate, however that also opens themselves up for other issues (“Apple is intentionally slowing down my phone!”) which isn’t worth the trade off for most android manufacturers. Heck there are even some iPhone users that never update for this very reason.

android users: fix android's system-level, soul-crushing image compression.
google: here's a new logo and typeface.
