Last year or few years ago, Google released  update that broke Bluetooth on Pixels. Google&amp;#x27;s team released the update, broke things, went out for extended Christmas break and fixed things a few months later. 
I&amp;#x27;m not fan of the Apple phones and the fact that they cost a fortune, but I don&amp;#x27;t recall them putting out hardware breaking updates.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>dvnguyen</author><text>I don&amp;#x27;t see myself switching to an Android phone but iPhone updates do break things. Since upgrading to latest iOS, both my phone (personal and work) keyboards are unusable if I enable both English and Vietnamese keyboards. Looks like there&amp;#x27;s a bug in their keyboard prediction engine. It&amp;#x27;s been 4 months and I don&amp;#x27;t see they fix it yet.</text></comment>

Bad things happen, I think Apple is just REALLY aggressive about pulling updates that break things to limit the impact. That&amp;#x27;s the most important thing, IMO. Well, that and a fix for the people who got screwed.</text></comment>
