Serious. Rom developers are severely underrated. No matter how much praise/money they get, it's not enough.

Here's what people don't seem to understand... When you have a company like Apple that manufacturers (essentially) their own products as well as develops their own software, the two are released together.

Apple says "Here is iOS6, and here are the devices to use it on".

Android is a totally different set up. Since Google develops (essentially) the software, when they release it they are basically saying (to the manufacturers) "Here is the latest software, build something for it."

That clearly leads one to understand the delay. If you take into consideration the fact that hardware manufacturers see the software and then develop hardware around it or adapt the software to previous hardware in generally less than a year, it's not bad.

I understand the argument that it's "unfortunate" how slow Android phones are updated to the latest software but if you consider this then you simply have to understand it's a very different update model than used by Apple.

Each works differently, each have pros and cons.

I agree with you.. And running iOS 5 on my former iPhone 3Gs is pain in the @$$ seriously.. It was laggy & stutter from time to time, iOS 4 is better for older iPhone devices like the 2G, 3G & 3GS.. I think Apple just doesn't care for it anymore, they will just say "buy a new iPhone"..

They didn't forget about anything!!

Only you iOS f**ktwats are all uppity about whether or not the phones get the latest software.

We understand that since Apple makes little to no physical apparent improvement year after year that you rely on upgraded software.

Android phones on the other hand don't have that problem. I'm sorry you somehow feel that Apple's model of software updates MUST APPLY to Android.

It doesn't. It shouldn't. We don't care. Why do you?
