In this case, it was obvious changes between Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 5.0 Lollipop (Android L, as it was called at first) is much larger than that between 7 and iOS iOS 8: for example, more in the spring of 2014, rumors about what Google is actively promoting a single flat design.
Conference Apple WWDC
Home Apple revolution took place in 2013: users quickly adopted the seventh version of iOS, and Now iPhone with iOS 6 on board seems an anachronism. Such a smooth transition (especially given the dramatic changes in iOS 7) Google can only dream of.
Statistics on the version of Android on February 3
A good example – an update to Android 5.0, has turned into outright tent. First, the release date for the Nexus family a couple of times transferred (not as GTA V for the PC, but also frustrating).
Statistics on the iOS version of February 18
Second, the first update only the device without slots SIM- cards – have problems with the software. And only after permission of the many nuances began a massive change in the KitKat Lollipop.
