Verizon is very demanding about interfering with what goes on it’s network so it makes sense that nobody wanted to put anything new out on it

They wouldn't let the iPhone on their network until they saw what a success the 3GS was and realized they'd lose a ton of customers if they didn't get the 4.

it would be awesome if apple started a Fi-like service too, or if somehow apple and google made a truce to run a service like that together just to put the screws to att and verizon

Tmobile is doing a good job of putting the screws to them now.

Android was always meant to be a blackberry rip off and it still shows over 10 years later.

I'm on my third rma. All the googling I've done shows it seems to be random. Some devices will be fine and some will just randomly get hosed by an update.

I'm actually super careful with my phone and it is always either in my purse or flat on a table. I barely have anything installed either. None of the usual custom launchers or whatever that dypers gently caress their phones with

Google has become somewhat erratic in updating its Android distributionnumbers after updating them monthly for years. They’ve skipped a number of months this year, including June, but are back for July with fresh percentages. That month off has meant big things for Android Oreo, which jumped up to 12.1% (up from 5.7%).

That was sarcasm, of course, because these numbers are actually pretty sad. Oreo has only hit 12.1% of the Android pie and it was released in August of last year. So after being available to Android phones for almost a year, we’re at about an eighth of the Android world running the most current stable version of Android. That’s not good.

In terms of other numbers, we’ve got Nougat down to 30.8%, Marshmallow down to 23.5%, Lollipop down to 20.4%, KitKat down to 9.1%, and Jelly Bean down to 3.6%.

Lol 9% of anroids are using a five year old os. iOS 10 is running on 8% of iOS devices.

I was going to cancel directv and go with YouTube tv but retention offered to match their rate it if I agreed to a year contract.
