- No agenda, just an interesting data point. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 10:39
Looks like Siri is basically getting Google Now type features -- nm - oblique Jun 8, 10:35
Truthfully it's a bit misleading. They have what? 5 models of iPhone realistically (6, 5s, 5, 4s, 4) vs how many android? -- nm - oblique Jun 8, 10:33 7
- I think that's the point, actually. So many that most people will NEVER get the latest updates to the OS. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 10:39 5
  - Android updates, with the exception of Nexus devices, are controlled by the carriers too. -- nm - Shaun Jun 8, 10:44 1
    - And, in any case, are more modular, meaning that most of the actual updates are pushed out via the individual service modules rather than the OS itself -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 10:46
  - realistically the missing % is probably iPhone 4 users. With OS9, 4s will probably be SOL. While they typically extend the OS to 1 or 2 generations, - oblique Jun 8, 10:42 2
    - I'd imagine it is. But 10% locked out vs 75% is a big difference. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 10:43 1
      - I'd be curious to see the adoption % for devices by year of release. My guess is for years 1-2, Apple and Android are probably pretty close - oblique Jun 8, 10:47
- A plethora -- nm - eag Jun 8, 10:38
