Because if they slow down people won't upgrade as fast because the manufacturers pledge "X number of versions" updates not years. So if Google slows down manufacturers would have to support longer. Gotta keep that money flowing in because Google gets a cut of sales.
They are hurting themselves in the long run. People get bored of continuous updates and it means that each release gets way less attention. They should do minor version bumps if anything. Do a 14.1, 14.2 and so on
What? I've never heard of that in my life. Years, yes.
Wut? The major manufacturers I've paid attention to, who've made update support promises, have done "X years" not "X versions"
I've observed this substantially more with iOS updates vs. Android.
It’s not true for either one. Both Apple and Android OEMs pledge support for years not versions.
I never claimed they did, but the fact remains that my iPhone 4S was rendered nearly unusable after the iOS 7 "upgrade," which had such a massive system load that only one app could run at a time.
More children to exploit in those cobalt mines! Can't stop now!
