Only iOS uses a primitive update mechanism that makes slowdowns frequent.

Android updates seamlessly with A/B partitions using Project Treble.

The entire operating system is updated completely without the user even
knowing it - that's how a _modern_ operating system is designed to update.

Android updates are so modern that every month all Android phones (newer
than Android 4.4) have had their security updated monthly via the Google
Play System Update (formerly called Project Mainline).

The reason slowdowns are frequent with iOS is the primitive update
mechanism Apple uses (which benefits only Apple - but not the user).
