…If someone like me who is an astute observer of the industry has to do such intense research on which Android device to buy based on the potential for ongoing support and then ends up getting burned in the process, what is the average consumer to do?
…And I’ve also decided that until the support situation substantially improves, I am no longer going to recommend Android-based products to my friends, family and colleagues. I’ll point them towards Apple’s iOS and Microsoft’s Windows Phone instead. At least with these platforms, you’re guaranteed core OS updates and bugfixes for the length of your contract.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. This is exactly why I’ll never voluntarily buy an Android device, nor will I recommend it to anyone. Most devices going out today are one or two versions behind, and the chances of getting the latest update are close to zero. With my iPhone, at least for the two years of contract, I just go to Settings>General>Software Updates. That’s it.
