Actually they do. And if you are talking about the Nexus One or G1 in particular, no provider continues major-version support of 2+ year old phones.

- e1ven 15y agoThe iPhone 3GS was released on June 19, 2009, and runs the newest iOS releaes. That was 2 years, 7 months ago.
- hack_edu 15y agoAnd not very well IMHO, probably about as good as a Nexus One would ICS. There is something to say for UX/UI standards.
- redthrowaway 15y agoTrue that. iOS 5 is a dog on my 3gs, with unacceptable lag and intermittent crashes. If the LTE Galaxy Nexus were offered in Canada, I would have switched a month ago.
- chc 15y agoI would just like to emphasize that this is not a cop-out. Not only does my top-of-the-line (when I bought it) iPhone 3GS with iOS 5 feel much more sluggish than my girlfriend's very low-end Android phone, but apps — even Apple apps — crash all the friggin' time due to memory exhaustion. Assuming the experience upgrading an old Android to ICS would be similar, I'd say Google is simply doing better QA than Apple.
