Apple is an edge case in so many ways that Android OEMs differ: * Apple has a greater following of "must have the latest" consumers than most Android OEMs put together * Apple makes money from the app store. Both selling apps and developers submitting apps that expose cool new features in iOS. * Apple can release iOS updates that coincide with newer handsets but with software features only exposed in the newer hardware. Which also helps with the adoption of newer hardware.
