Great question feels like it's been forever people have been talking about 3.5 but it is a pretty substantial update. Heres hoping SMT-Disabled Performance Improvements arent problematic becuase thats what I'm most looking forward to so emulators see a boost to performance.
Yeah the more they copy apple the more you just think to yourself “well why don’t I just buy an iPhone then for longer os support” removing the micro sd and headphone Jack amongst other things has kind of eroded part of androids identity. Android still has a way better file management system and notifications system but it’s starting to feel like little else these days.
