The thing is though--if you go into a store and by an iPhone, you're guaranteed to have the newest version. If you go and buy an Android phone, you never quite know what you're getting.
- nuclear_eclipse 16y agoUnless you go into the store and buy the $99 old model?
- bretthoerner 16y agoThey still sell the 3G. And that's kind of a tautology. You're tied to one manufacturer and one carrier. I can walk into the Verizon store and purchase the most expensive HTC phone and I know that I have the latest HTC on Verizon just like you know you have the latest Apple device on AT&T. A lack of choice doesn't mean you automatically have something better in your hands.
- macrael 16y agoActually, they sell the 3GS which is a year old and is running iOS4. So there is a difference in the way that the two operating systems are being adopted.
- kyleslattery 16y agoSorry, I should have been clearer: you can't buy an iPhone that isn't running iOS 4. Yes, it may be older hardware, but you're guaranteed to have the newest version of the software.
