How did you upgrade to Android 12?
Manually (fw package from site)
Or FOTA
And the thing which you're saying is still a myth, I also said this very earlier that These updates are like a catalyst, your motherboard is already dying bit by bit but it gives a boost to the process. So Can't agree or disagree till asus clarify it, and I guess they'll never.
My phone has been runing fine for 6 months, suddenly bottom speaker stopped working and after few days screen crashed with normal use and it bricked totally.

I updated it maunally with the package downloaded from the support site. I dont think there would be a difference between the package as both manually and auto versions are same. Though there is not much of a upgrade we could see except the permission and UI changes.
I would recommend people not to update or upgrade the software versions until you are adventorous.
