I wish I could know if any cheap phone will be supported by LOS for five years at year one. It’s always a gamble or a Pixel, which is not in my range anyway.

I don’t see it. In this case, I see basically the same since 1977, or being strict, 1998. Unless they go for just " A P P L E " next. It’s, in my view, a big step to abandon a graphic for letters.

What’s the reasoning behind? Or just a trend?
