Default Samsung TW vs Apple IOS

Apple with every launch of a new IOS version, its features are replicated from 3GS to latest Ipad.

Whenever Samsung launches a new TW it completely forgets the past, breaks android evolution (ex. ICS in SI), most likely won't update TW in SII (and forgot to fix camera firmware issues), most software innovations (crap or not) in SIII are not followed through older gen.

Most likely leaving the "dirty" work for developers to clean Samsung mess.

This alone is probably the strongest selling point of Apple, which looks after older models.

What's your feedback on this? Shouldn't we demand more from Samsung?
SI - 16GB+64GB - 4.2.1 CM10.1
SII - SOLD
SIII - 16GB+64GB - 4.1.2 Stock

a few things..

1) whats your point?
2) you compare a launcher/UI to a whole OS
3) what are you complaining about?
Youre in a great community here. and when the time comes (of this yet to be released device..) there are a few people who will gladly pick that work up I believe..
4) dont think this can be a serious discussion without flaming.. so I guess this will be closed shortly..

This is an android forum and noone gives a rat's ass about iphones.
Theyre overpriced, ugly and terribly limited devices.
Close this thread please.

Just thought of this, and how Samsung in one year time will likely "forget" SIII.
Thinking again about it, maybe it's better to delete this post. Sorry about this guys.

You of all people should know they won't because you just installed JW5 on your S1 didn't you.
You received selected android 4.0 features and s2 additions on a i9000 2.3.6 rom. This is as good as it gets. Look at other manufacturers like sony or motorola or htc. None of them give you these kind of benefits.
The i9000 and i9100 are extremely popular and very very successful devices. No wonder they keep pushing updates for them. Be glad of what you have. I own multiple devices, S1 and S2 included, and both of them are definitely my favorites.
They are free and open, they have great displays, looks, sdcard slots. Performance wise they basically declass every other phone including my gnex which fails miserably in that aspect. Everything from the launcher, browser through games and calculation heavy applications run great.

In addition, Apple could give a rat's ass about older models. They'll give them enough to keep most complaints at bay but otherwise, they want your fresh earned money for the newer stuff. Siri ring a bell?
Current: Samsung Galaxy S III
Previous: HTC Vivid
Previous: Samsung Captivate

If you have a Captivate, I have a ROM for you: MaxQ and Sparko ROM

Thanks for your opinion, of which I agree to almost everything.
This thread should be closed, don't know exactly what was in my mind.

this forum is full of hysteric overreacting wenches on steroids ..
He asked a legitimate question about Samsung policy in handling their franchise, not about your sisters bra sizes to throw a hissy fit like that ..
