"a bit exaggerated" or "wild distortion of facts" ?

• prezjordan 15y ago
  A bit exaggerated. The direction Android has taken really rubs me the wrong way. The hot new phone is obsolete after 3 months and stuck with an old OS unless you root. It's not a trend I can appreciate the way I did when Android first surfaced.

    I never understand this argument. How is an Android phone more obsolete than an iPhone after 3 months? Technology progresses just as fast in both cases.

      I think he was referring to the fact that many Android phones don't receive updates after the first few months, whereas iPhones are typically receiving updates at least 2 years after release.

        Fair enough. I assumed he was talking about being obsolete hardware wise. I'll agree that Android updates aren't exactly timely, but saying they're abandoned completely after a few months is a bit unfair.

          This show that it's not so unfair : http://theunderstatement.com/post/11982112928/android-orphans-visualizing-a-sad-history-of-support http://theunderstatement.com/post/11982112928/android-orphan...

    "Catastrophe" is a word describing a grave disaster. I suppose you would characterize the IBM PC explosion as a catastrophe as well?
