So, today I read a propaganda piece written by cultofmac
which perpetuates long running “fragmentation” campaign against Android and
reinforces the isheep reality distortion bubble created by the mother ship. I
tried to raise these points directly on their website in the comments section,
but as usual they put their fingers in their ears pretended the world was still
perfect.
They have a daring title for their article “This chartproves that android smartphones are a bad deal compared to iphones”.
Look at all that lovely green. I could pick this article to pieces all day, but I’ll just
touch on 3 main points.
Firstly, while Apple does release iOS updates for older
hardware, it is not uncommon for new features to only be available to users
running the latest and greatest Apple hardware. Just take a second to read this apple support page. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5457
Secondly, Google doesn’t solely rely on OS updates to push
out new features or updated code. They are able to push out API updates using
the play store app and bypass the OS update process entirely. They also are
relying on app updates, rather than OS updates, to push out new features. Take
hangouts for example. SMS integration achieved without requiring an OS update.
Thirdly, if “fragmentation” is really such a big deal for
you, then you have two options. The first is ROM’s which give you a whole swag
of innovative features on top of stock Android, the second option is to get a
NEXUS device. OS updates are swift, the hardware is top notch and, this will
come as a shock to isheep, cheap!
