Why doesn't Android have updates when iPhones do?
>>53618782
Manufacturers and cell phone carriers. That's why
by making it open google also made it open to getting fucked over. You have to buy from a good mfg, and straight from the mfg not through a carrier. Nexus of course is always the latest. Motorola is pretty good about updates.
>>53618928
But why do the manufacturers give no fucks about their hardware once the customer bought it? Apples jewgold reserves show that customers will keep buying shit from you if you keep shit up to date.
How come Windows is able to run on several different hardwares with no problem to receive updates but android cant? Its just that poorly desgned?
>>53618782
It does, it's just not as common because the cell phone carrier sends out the update that was provided by the developers
>>53619006
It's not a problem, it's because the carrier and manufacturer controls which updates go to devices. Android can handle update fine, it's the manufacturer that doesn't update them for whatever jew reason. If you don't want to get jewed don't buy from a jew manufacturer.

They must be retarded. I know I'm never going to buy any LG/samsung/etc phones again in my life. You pay a shit ton of money for your phone just to get 1 update, 2 if you're lucky. After that it goes to the trash.
>>53619006
Open sores. Mfrs take Android from Google and fuck with it, then need to work updates into their fucked-with version of Android.
>>53619006
The ARM platform has no standard for drivers or bootloaders, so you will have to target the OS to each individual device.
Meanwhile, Windows mandates BIOS/UEFI for booting, shit like WDM for Graphics drivers. Very standardized.
>>53619006
> with no problem
Err, no.
And Windows usually has 3rd party drivers for hardware that gets updated often like GPUs, although overall a good point.

>>53619051
This might be true in Burgerland but updates are also a problem if you're not cucked by a carrier.
>>53619053
That seems like an easy excuse ... how can multiple billion dollar companies have SO many retards?
>>53619051
It kinda is.
Its not HP or Dell that are releasing windows updates, I bet they wouldn't either if it was up to them. Its microsoft that does. Why cant google update all androids?
>>53619006
Windows has had driver support for multiple hardware configs for fucking ever. Android is still stuck in the Linux kernel stone ages, it needs to be reconfigured for each device.

Thanks. I'm even more convinced to buy an iPhone now.
>>53619134
Cuck.
But my S5 is still getting updates every 6 months or so

>>53619193
That isn't what we're talking about
>>53619144
Don't blame him, blame manufactors of Android smartphones who try their best to convert users to Apple.
>>53619166
Didn't it only recently got Marshmallow and only for SK version? That shit was released in October fucking 2015.
>>53619222
Just got Marshmallow a week or two ago on my G4.
I want an iPhone again so bad my asshole hurts.
If one of you faggots would be willing to trade me, that would be great.
>>53619255
>sell your G4
>buy SE
Android does have updates. You can get a new ROM every night.

Nobody will buy it, it's on ntelos.
ntelos will be sprint soon, but this POS won't bring in any money.

>owning a women's phone
>>53619341
Ouch, that blows.
>>53619379
>tiny phones
>not womanly
>This tiny phone for manlet hands will show then just how much of a man i truly am
>>53618782
Having been to CES I have no idea why you think they would announce an Android update there. Not appropriate at all. It's mostly gimmicky shit that barely has a chance of actually hitting the market anyway.
>>53618782
Because it's not needed?
>>53620355
>updates are unnecessary
I bet you also run Windows 8 with updates turned off to avoid muh Microsoft datamining

>needing a phone to display your masculinity
>using a phone that needs a purse to be carried around
lmao

My 8" tablet is pocketable, why the fuck would a phone not be?

Most people don't like to use cargo pants.
>>53620499
I wear jeans. And before you call me fat, I'm actually underweight.
>>53620453
>wearing cargo shorts in public
>>53620558
So you wear jeans that don't fit at all? That's also pretty bad. Though to be fair not cargo shorts bad.
>>53620582
No I wear jeans that fit
>>53620597
With gigantic pockets? Are you 7 feet tall?
>>53620600
6ft, I just don't wear girls' jeans. You should try, it's nice having functional pockets.
>>53620617
So you wear jeans that fit but aren't fitting. No one who thinks that fitting jeans are "girl jeans" actually wears good looking jeans. It shows a basic lack of understanding of the different cuts and fits.
Confirmed for looking like a goon.
>>53620646
I'm saying my jeans fit and that you wear girl jeans because your pockets are tiny as fuck, just like girls jeans.
