6.0 Marshmallow

I loved my original n7 until it locked up-bricked itself after a few years. It's been about 3 yrs now on my n7'13 and no problems at all. It's currently running 6.0.1 flawlessly. I do worry about the battery eventually giving out, but I constantly have it on its electromagnetic charger and very rarely let it fall down enough to actually need a full battery recharge. Maybe it will last forever! They do have replacement batteries tho.

If Google/Asus/whomever did a n7'16 I bet it would be a continuing money maker. The performance, the form factor and the ready and easy updates can't be beat. A new n7'16 w/a new cpu and a 64gb option would be killer!!!

So why don't they? The n9 was a flop...

Finally thinking of hitting the update button on my Nexus 5, which is still on vanilla 4.4.4.

It has been a while since I've had a device do an OTA update. Will it wipe my storage, losing any custom folders I've created and the content I've put in them? I can't remember.
