The mooper-propaganda continues. LOL

The vast majority of the installed android user base is highly fragmented. It will be "fixed" when the installed base is mostly 4.x and higher, which won't be for a very long time.

Which is true of any phone OS, but mooper believes it is an android strength.

Android updates will continue to be fragmented because they are controlled by the cell companies. Fragmentation will continue.

That is the plan, known long in advance and on a regular schedule. Something that cannot be said for Android.

Pure supposition. The same assumptions can be made for any iPhone originally released with iOS 6.

More assumptions without basis.

A lie which you have been called out on before. First, the "latest iPhone" from one year ago was the iPhone 4S. And the iPhone 4 running iOS 6 does not lack youtube or good maps. Both are readily available from the home screen. Not sure why you continue to lie about this.

LOLLL

Care to compare the percentage of iOS 6 users to the percentage of Jelly Bean users? You would lose that one big time.
