But there are "pure Android" options (e.g. Nexus and Moto X) that get timely updates that don't have any of those problems. However, even those great phones still have the problem of having to compete against one another, and there is very little differentiation since Google owns the experience. I get some key innovations on Moto X that I don't get on iPhone (the ability to redden the screen at night is key for me, plus nice things like automatically detecting when you're driving so incoming texts and voice calls are read to you), but Moto X still has to compete with other high end Android devices so they are limited in the premium they can charge.
