Why is it a factor that older iPhones can possibly get the latest version of iOS when we're talking about Android? That's comparing one company with one line of phones that they heavily control the ecosystem. A proper comparison would be how the Nexus line does in terms of upgrades. Which Apple probably still wins, but so what? It's a silly complaint because the people who buy the phones don't care.
My complaint is centered around the silliness of this whole farce about "this phone is superior because of A, B, and C while that phone SUCKS because the company once made a phone that looked just like my superior phone so therefore they can never make a decent phone in the future and I won't buy a phone from that company (nor should anyone) just like I won't buy a Ford truck because I had one that broke down on me forty years ago!" kind of crap that passes for a discussion on the matter.
These things are almost to the "battery dead? throw it away" stage so can we get past this which is superior crap? They are all wonderful devices and they all serve their owners quite well even though some do things that others do not. There are better things to debate the pros and cons over.
