Apple updates seem to rollout much faster, with fewer impediments from carriers. Why can’t this be the case with Samsung phones after Samsung has tested the update? Why the extra barrier for Android phones?

    If I remember correctly it’s a carrier thing. First Google sends out the Android update to each manufacturer. Then they slap their skin on top of it and do their software tweaking. Then those updates are send to the carrier’s, and they’re the ones sending them OTA to the consumer.

    With Apple, everything is “inhouse”.
