let's get real: Even if your Android still receives security updates, there's no telling how long it will be before manufacturers and carriers get it together to push out the patches

...I still prefer an iPhone.

Don't believe the hype about update lag, it's not reality. de facto, per se. I'm using an Essential PH-1. I got the patch today.

Considering that there are only a couple hundred 959's in existence, I'd say a licensing effort would be pointless. They are no doubt charging dubiously huge fees for these 3D printed parts, but if you own a 959 money is already no object.

Also, Porsche charges astronomical licensing fees for anything associated with their brand. Just look at video games for example.. Many times you will see RUF cars instead of actual Porsches in games because they want too much for licensing.

It's not really contradictory, even if it seems so at first.t For a car analogy, consider that a BMW 116i is not a high-end model, but a premium one.

If you're trying to say that BMW is a premium brand, that would be correct. But any fool knows a 1-series is not a premium BMW. Back to the point: an Intel M3 does not a premium laptop make.
