Alice is going to revolt against Samsung when her s8 is bricked and go buy the new iPhone which also has a Broadcomm chip in it? How is this causing problems for Broadcomm's marketing department? When she goes to the store and explains how frustrated she is with Broadcomm surely the phone rep will point out that some phone makers were good about pushing out the update?
Moreover, heap overflows and videos of batteries exploding dont have the same staying power in consumer minds...
- flukus 10y agoIt causes a problem for Broadcomm because Samsung is losing sales and has to use a competitors chipsets. Or Samsung fixes their update issues to try and claw back sales. Or more likely Samsung do it because replacement units are expensive. A heap overflow won't change minds, but millions of out of pocket consumers saying how shit Samsung is at every opportunity will. Remember Samsung is a big brand too, the department that sells TVs aren't going to sit back while the phone department poisons their brand.
