But since most people don't have a clue, more than one billion iPhones could been sold.
And by the way, all apps do run on an S3 with current Lineage. There's no logical reason for an update because of the processing power.
So whats the real reason you'd switch?
If something's old that doesn't have to mean anything. With the current product lifecycles of ~12 months nearly everything is old. Important is if something meets the reqirements, and that doen't change just of an release date in the past.
Indeed. Those S3/Note2 phones could barely run Android. They had stutter and lag simply scrolling the app drawer and were best retired years back. NVM compared to anything more recent the screens are junk and the battery life was poor.
LineageOS is a nice effort....But if someone has to ask what it is and how to install it--then doing so is over their head. That they haven't done it on a 5 year old phone already confirms it
