Google was on the verge again to himself pulling the control of firmware updates of the Android operating system
<-.! end of intro text -> <- highlight ->
The remarkable statement coming from Richard Windsor, an analyst at Edison Investment Research. Google would have had enough of being dependent on its hardware partners for the distribution of operating system updates. Therefore it sometimes takes many months before Google builds in innovations that are available in the latest versions of Android on the devices that are in principle capable of.
The difference with iOS in the adoption of new versions is huge. 9 iOS and Android Marshmallow came last year about the same time off. iOS 9 is now on 87 percent of all Apple devices, while Marshmallow only just coming to the 1.2 percent penetration.
Beyond that there is a delay, the device makers and mobile operators have the ability to load its own version of the operating system on the devices. This increases the likelihood of security problems. In addition, the app developers dislike the many versions of the operating system in use to put them there when building their products and services must take into account.
Android is more like iOS and Windows seem
“The bottom line is that Google takes over complete control of Android by completely moving OS services layer called Google Mobile Services (GMS), “says Windsor on The Register. “That’s the only way Google can put an end to the endemic fragmentation are handsets bothers while to regain control over the software distribution.” According Windsor is the result that an Android device much more like an iOS or Windows device is said to make the there are no possibilities for the device makers change.
