Most Android phones don't have a 'supported' version of LineageOS. It's very hit...

Google phones are only popular in the US, but Android users are mostly outside of the US.

In Europe the most popular smartphone brand is Samsung.

Lineage supports basically all of their models.

Also: Nexus support is not bad

Nexus 6 and 6p are supported

They even support all my Xiaomi devices, including a very old Mi pad second edition.

It's probably the OS that actively supports more devices in existence right now.

iOS doesn't even support all the iPhones.

"Warning: The Google Nexus 6P is no longer maintained. A build guide is available for developers that would like to make private builds, or even restart official support."

The devices link you included links to legacy builds/devices that are discontinued. The only Google phones currently supported on LineageOS are the Nexus 6 and Pixel 1/1XL. As another data point, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 have no active support either while the S4 and S5 do.

Apple's upcoming iOS version -- not just current, but the one that's not even released yet -- supports all iPhones released in the last 5 years. There's just no comparison.

> There's just no comparison

Exactly.

One supports just a few devices, the other supports hundreds.

One is free, the other is not.

Guess which is which.

if Nexus 6P is not supported is Google's fault

Nexus 6P was a bad phone, with sever problems, it was discontinued after a year and you could obtain a compensation if you had one that was faulty.

Still the community tried to support it

They decided wasn't worth anymore

The community is people, Apple is not people.
