"Apple have been outstanding in that regard- providing OS updates to really quite old phones."
Yes, like the iOS 4 update for my 3G -- which made my phone so slow as to be almost useless. Came close to smashing it in frustration many, many times. So in my case at least, Apple providing an update to an old phone is definitely nothing to brag about. However, it did force me to upgrade the phone, and I'm guessing that was the point.
- MBCook 14y agoThat wasn't a good upgrade, but at least the option was there. The phone came with 2.0, received 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. Every one of those was available day one. Most android manufacturers aren't releasing updates, or they're months behind. WP updates were often stalled months by carriers/manufacturers, and phones bought last year can't get WP8.

I guess 14 months after Android 4.0 was released is better than never, but it kills me it takes that long for some Non-Nexus devices.
