Phil Schiller Goes on Offensive Against Android and Samsung
Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller went on the offensive against Android in a unusually forthright interview with The Wall Street Journal.Mr. Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of world-wide marketing, also said that Android users are often running old operating systems and that the fragmentation in the Android world was "plain and simple."In addition to the above comments, Schiller said that Android devices and the operating system "don't work seamlessly together" because they come from different vendors, unlike Apple which makes both the software and hardware in its devices.
He added that "Android is often given a free replacement for a feature phone and the experience isn't as good as an iPhone."
Samsung is expected to announce an update to its flagship Galaxy S smartphone line tomorrow.

(View all)I have owned the S3, Nexus 4 and the Note 2 and i can tell you fragmentation hasnt hurt my experience one bit.
PC's are fragmented to hell and they dont suffer. In fact OSX cant perform a single benchmark better than PC in any games.
Dont tell consumers its for their benefit you make the hardware and software. Its for your profit only

Who makes more money? Google or Apple? Who's getting who's ass kicked?
Google makes $0 from Android. They are actually helping foreign companies and hurting American companies in the process.
Android 5.0 KLP will be out in May and Samsung has become much much better about pushing out updates to its devices than in the past.
This interview by Schiller is to keep morale up and perhaps Apple stock. It isn't just going to be the Galaxy S4 tomorrow, but HTC One, Nexus and Motorola devices that are going to be hitting the market in the next few months.
iOS is getting stale in features and with iPhone you only have one choice. With Android there are several choices.
My iPad 2 went to iOS6 the day it came out. My GS3 has never been on the latest OS.

Thats a lot of phones for the small time Android has been readily available on the market not to mention those phone models themselves are not very old. Why do you change so much? Not happy with your experience I would imagine or you just love cycling through junk phones.

Weird. I didn't realise PCs and OSX were made exclusively for gaming...:rolleyes:
