The worst thing is that you can't upgrade the OS easily as iPhone

No, Cook is smoking crack if you get a recent flagship phone - just FUD.

No. I'm a Nexus 4/10 guy and they're comparable to Apple, but "Android" includes a lot of OEM stuff that gets between the platform gatekeeper (Google) and customers, though Play Services is overcoming that.

But hey, here's the same old fragmentation argument again.

Quality control is extremely variable

Even for the "Google devices" like the Nexuses, you get 2 years of support and then they pretend you don't exist any longer (other companies are worse)

Their problem is they don't have an App store, iTunes, or interaction with other devices like the laptop and ipads so there's hardly any incentive to keep a phone up to date if they don't get anything out of it

So basically their problem is they're not Apple

No but last year there wasn't a big deal made out of how Android is now the top mobile OS by a large percentage or something

I think the key is when Cook says "nearly nine out of ten *in our install base*".

I'd like to see their definition of "our install base" first.

The big question is whether iOS 8's Notification Center will actually tell me something useful about the weather instead of "The wind is 13mph from the southeast".
