Totally a fair comparison because the impact that updating nexus devices has is negligible. Better comparison would be how long it takes to get the latest on say the Galaxy S 3 or 4 phones. Or any of the Galaxy S phones. My iPhone 4 can get iOS 7 today. That's as old of a device as a Galaxy S or S II I believe. I'm pretty sure that the S and S II are both in Android 2.2 or 2.3 land. It's a side effect of the two different approaches to ecosystem for sure, but it's not an unfair comparison.
