Shows how bad iOS 6.0.x was. People were dying to get away from it!

why? other stolen features from Android? or more icons?

actually it shows how easy it is to update and how fast when apple releases it this is how android should be. update released and you can update it right away. like in the Nexus line up.

but not everybody wants a nexus. so android could do better and help people get faster updates. that would really be helpful and not be slaved to dumb greedy carriers.

just release a update or a tool that can just update the release on all android phones. done deal.

good job apple

dictate = easy to manage updates for 4 devices, crime (see Adolf. H.)
choice = a lot of HW, more issues, more freedom, more difficulties

still vote for more difficulties with freedom :)

you take what is good and leave what is bad. that is how you will be just.

my opinions dont reflect apple as a company it reflects one positive note about their practice. and i feel as if android can do the same and literally dust apple aside. ofcourse android over ios anyday but still updates are soo hard to come by

Business strategy how to turn map bugs into the money:
If Apple will hide advertisement links behind this button, then Apple could earn some billions from pay per click! :D

I agree, it is impressive, but not surprising knowing that there is not much different devices and update's size is conditionally not big.

The fact that google has a major issue pushing out updates to multiple devices actually shows a weakness in the own update format. Whether or not u have multiple devices, and large files...which r only a few Meg's larger than apples by the way and sometimes smaller u should still be able by superior design to update on a regular quick schedule. Remember I consistently use both, so I know. Your post only sounds smart, cuz nobody is challenging you. Your droider pals just agree, but google/Samsung/moto are horrible at updates. Only HTC Apushes them out in a decent time frame. Stop blowing hot air dude.

I meant only HTC pushes them out.

I don't completely disagree with what you are saying. I respect your opinion, but learn some ****ing grammer.

You told him to learn some f'ing grammer. FYI the proper word is grammar...learn some.

you know, its easy to produce iOS 3 to iOS 6 without any significant change..... ;)

Well said and that's not a fanboy comment, it's simply a fact. Apple updates faster overall. Now watch how many red thumbs we get, and the backlash that ensues.

Read the changelog for all iOS updates versions, then tell me what major changes are in all these small versions updates and what new features are it?
Show me all new features in iOS 6.1 compared with iOS 6.0!
Just buggfixes and VERY FEW new features. Just for add a number behind 6.x doesnt mean a s**t.
Android 4.0 - 4.1 - 4.2 are huge different, compared to iOS versions and are just buggfixes.

There were few security vulnerabilities also.
