Here is a comparison between the support offered by Apple and Android terminal manufacturers for their own smartphones

  You all know that in the case of the platform Android a new version of the operating system can only be installed when the manufacturer of your terminal offers you an update. Even if Google updated Android- in any way, that new version cannot be installed on other terminals, except those from the Nexus series, only after each individual manufacturer modifies and prepares it specifically for that device. This situation generated big problems regarding the rate of adoption of the new versions of Android, and a company thought to presents us the discrepancies between what they offer Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and what the competition offers.

  In the first image of this article, you can see that iDevices have quick access to new updates and most of them have the new versions of iOS available even 5 years after the launch on the market. The situation is completely different in the case of the Android platform, where the support for new versions of the operating system is not nearly as good. Some top terminals do not have the possibility to install the latest version of the operating system because their manufacturers do not offer it, and if you look at the graph, you will notice that only in the case of Nexus Series terminals there is support for the latest version of Android.

  In most cases, owning an Android terminal means coming to terms with the idea that you will not be able to install a major update unless the manufacturer offers it a few months after launch, or if you install ROMs published on the Internet by various people. By offering iDevice owners access to the latest versions of iOS, Apple ensures that its customers can quickly benefit from the newest functions and security updates, which is impossible to say in the case of the Android platform.
