[citation][nom]greenmachineiijh[/nom]This is so useless... Sorry Tom's. These comparisons should be taken with a grain of salt by all who view... Even the ones taking the survey.The iPhone is a gadget that REQUIRES a user to upgrade to the next version if you want the latest and greatest. The Galaxy (Android) is in a different class.Users have options to use several different ANDROID model cellphones and will not always stick to the Galaxy line.The Galaxy line of phones are really great, but not everyone gets one or even wants one. If you want an apple phone, there is only ONE option. Of course the numbers will be bigger.A true comparison would be something like Apple iOS vs. Google Android vs. Windows Phone vs. Blakckberry.I am not a fan-boy of either, I just believe that stuff like this is not really a true comparison.[/citation]
Not exactly sure what you mean. EVERY phone, whether it has Windows, Blackberry, Android, etc requires you to upgrade your phone if you want the latest and greatest. Own a Droid Razr but want 2GB of RAM instead of one? Can't upgrade the Razr so have to get the S3.
In fact, in a way you are very wrong. While you can not upgrade hardware with the latest and greatest, since Apple demands to the cell phone carriers that only they will control OS delivery, every iPhone will get the new versions of any iOS upgrade and at the same time. Even my iPod Touch got iOS 6. This is something Google needs to start insisting for with Android.
I have a Droid Bionic, and while I love the phone from a hardware standpoint, we are only now starting to see our upgrade to ICS after waiting for months for Motorola to submit build after build to Verizon for approval.
