Phil Schiller afirma ca Samsung Galaxy S IV va rula un sistem de operare vechi de un an de zile

  Atacurile celor de la Apple la adresa Samsung Galaxy S IV continua in cursul acestei zile, deoarece Phil Schiller sustine intr-un interviu dat Reuters ca noul smartphone va rula un sistem de operare vechi de un an de zile. In realitate el are dreptate, deoarece Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwitch a fost lansat in toamna anului 2011, el fiind actualizat in vara anului trecut la versiunea 4.2, iar in total mai putin de jumatate dintre terminalele Android ruleaza versiunea 4.x in momentul de fata.

With their own data, only 16 percent of Android users are on year-old version of the operating system. Over 50 percent are still on software that is two years old. A really big difference. And that extends to the news we are hearing this week that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is being rumored to ship with an OS that is nearly a year old. Customers will have to wait to get an update. At Apple we know that it’s not just enough to have products pumped out in large numbers. You have to love and use them. There is a lot of data showing a big disparity there.

  Schiller critica si sistemul de update-uri pentru Android deoarece consumatorii trebuie sa astepte dupa fiecare producator in parte pentru a instala o versiune noua a sistemului de operare, lucru care nu se intampla in cazul iOS-ului. Schiller a atacat Samsung Galaxy S IV

exact acolo unde trebuie si iesirea celor de la Apple este surprinzatoare, mai ales ca in ultimul an Samsung a atacat constant iDevice-urile, insa Apple nu a oferit vreun raspuns. Acum Apple a atras atentia asupra unor probleme importante ale Android-ului, iar prezentarea terminalului nu denota implementarea vreunor noutati atat de importante.
