So say in two years time, when the Galaxy V comes out with Android 5 or 6 (or whatever), you can bet that the odds of a GIII supporting that are pretty much zero, so your phone is pretty much obsoleted (and has lost value if you are trying to sell it). Meanwhile, someone with an iPhone 4s and maybe a 4 will likely be running IOS 8, so they are getting much better longevity and value. Not exactly. I owned the iPhone 3G, which was discontinued on June 7, 2010. The last iOS to support it was 4.2.1, released on November 22, 2010. Cannot TELL you how many apps I could not use cause they would not work on the 3G. At least 50% I tried. Probably a lot more. I did not keep count but it was very frustrating. Like I said, it's all pretty much the same, across the board of manufacturers. Meanwhile, my Nokia 808 PureView - running on the dead as a doornail Symbian OS - looks like it will continue to be supported for the next two years. Latest OS upgrade coming up shortly. Can't wait! In this Symbian support regard - and imaging - I think Nokia is actually way ahead of the pack.
