Can you please provide the demonstrable truth that Apple gets carrier approval for their updates (which are released simultaneously worldwide, sometimes new updates go out mere days apart, which is definitely not enough time for every carrier in the world to have tested the update to approve it.
And also links the news articles where millions of Apple customers stormed shops after updates broke their phones.
> The most important thing Apple is good at is marketing, and your comment demonstrates why.
Apple has been able to become powerful in phone market. They enough power to push the carriers around, rather than the other way round. Therefore everyone but Apple has to have their updates approved by the carrier before they get pushed out. My comment was not pro-Apple. Merely pointing out the hypocrisy in how carriers claim they have to spend months testing updates for everyone except Apple.
