Wouldn't such criticisms be valid for Android as well?

Wouldn't such criticisms be valid for Android as well?
- cryptoz 14y agoDepends. No such criticism can be said of Android as an OS, but you could certainly make good arguments directed at the ecosystem in general. The interesting thing here isn't that the upgrade isn't compatible, it's that most people would expect Microsoft to support older systems. It's a break in their character. Maybe a good one? We'll see.
- barista 14y agoSo it is delivering an update for those phones too. Additionally there is a promise to support OTA upgrade of all released devices for 18 months. What android phone has that commitment?
- cryptoz 14y ago> What android phone has that commitment? To the best of my knowledge, all pure Android phones have that, plus more in some cases (the Nexus line). Additionally, many of the higher-end ones from other manufacturers likely do as well.
- barista 14y agoSource? and what percentage of android phones are these pure android devices?
- evilduck 14y agoIt is, and it drove me from Android to iOS.
- cmelbye 14y agoAbsolutely they would. Plenty of Android devices are left in limbo waiting for the upgrade, or aren't given at all.
- jan_g 14y agoYes, but majority of users don't care about upgrades. Those who do care ... they usually go custom ROM route. Quite a few of my friends have cyanogenmod roms with newer android versions, since the manufacturer (htc, et al) dropped support for the device.
