Wait, the guy who claimed to be for the environment was on the board of a company that contributes unnecessary e-waste by not allowing their hardware to last its rightful lifespan?? Wish I could say I was shocked...

You say that, meanwhile Apple is the benchmark in providing software updates and support for their devices. Just a few years ago, Android manufacturers were not even providing 2 years of updates.

Both are bad, Apple needs to stop the parts locking (like not being able to use all the features on a replaced screen without their approval), and Android companies have to be better about giving support for their phones.

Keep both accountable, let's leave the console wars bs in 2008.

I agree, and I am not here trying to start some Apple vs Android war. My comparison was just to give some perspective on the competition.

The thing is, there is no one monolithic competition called "Android", it's a host of vendors and manufacturers that have agreed on a common operating system. You will see a great amount of variation between all the different Android OEMs, variation that also affects software support.
