Non- google apps refuse to update their apps on obsolete versions of android. So Google supposedly updating some parts of Android 4.4 is a waste of time. >>> That's way more updates than Apple gives you Chris. >> >> I thought more was bad?

I have shown you the evidence several times. The fact you chose to snip it rather address it, speaks volumes regarding your wilful ignorance. The evidence is two-fold: 1) Apple updates older versions of ios very regularly, 2) ios support of older hardware is *years* longer than Google or Samsung. Their new policies will only come into reality i'm a few years. >>> The fact is Apple only fully supports one release only. >>> No other operating system vendor has support that sucks that bad. >> >> It's an acceptable model when all supported hardware can run the most OS. >> You wouldn't expect anyone to keep a 386 up-to-date? Maybe you would. > Answer the question!
