iOS fragmentation is masked by using the same version number on devices that support different api's. Clever perhaps, but fragmented like Android.

Example of this? I can't think of one offhand (besides things like the original iPhone not providing fine-grained location, because it didn't have a GPS receiver). Some of the user-facing features vary by device, but the APIs are the same.
