| rocketpig said: So, because manufacturers flood the market, they're allowed to not support a device? That doesn't make sense. If I go buy an iPhone, I'm spending $100-200. If I go buy an Android phone worth using, I'm spending $100-200. For that kind of money (and the $1800 I'll spend during the contract), I expect support for that device. I don't care if other people know about OS updates, I know about them. And the new OS has new features I probably want. If my phone is less than a year old, I expect it to get those updates. It's not an unreasonable request; shit, it's a perfectly rational request. Basically, you're arguing that customer ignorance validates shitty device support. That doesn't make sense at all. |
No, I'm arguing that if your phone works fine, then it really doesn't matter if it gets supported for four years.
I'm arguing that its more important to have choice or real selection.
With iPhone you get ... an iPhone for $200. That's it.
With Android you have more than 10 difference designs and hardware specs and above all prices from free to whatever. That is king and that blows away any detriment you see from not getting Android 9.1 on release day.
