You two are skipping detail and going straight to the big picture. Apple has what to update? Tablets and their own phones? Android has multiple COMPANIES. Apple is only one company. Much easier. Also, the iPhone is a piece of crud (build wise). I saw someone drop it on their table holding it to their face at a resteraunt and the screen smash. Interesting.
You actually registered just to post that drivel? Wow. Android doesn't "have" "multiple companies", multiple companies have one OS - Android. You need to work on your logic.
The thing is most android users do not care. They have their home screens set up to be exactly the way they want them and they can run all the apps they want to run. The people who cry the loudest are iPhone users reaffirming the reason they didn't buy an Android phone. I like both OSs and they both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Neither Amazon or Barnes & Noble make phones and there are precious few other Android forks commercialised in the West. The "Open" Handset Alliance is a sham.
Being able to fork Android is the heart of Android. Actually getting someone to do so is another story. NSA is developing their own Android version.
Ugh. This is why Google needs to set hardware standards early on.
That's the price of open. An Android user has to their own research to find which phone suits them. Apple there is one or an old one or an even older one

Part of the overall problem is that each company adds their own UI to Android. That means while most decent phones will be able to run ICS they may not be able to run their favorite companies flavor of Android. I love my MacBook Pros but Android allows me better access to the google services my company uses and the bigger screen means a bigger keyboard. Is it as powerful as an iphone. Probably not but thanks to xda I have the lastest version of HTC Sense and the latest Gingerbread build. It comes down to personal choice and likes. Of course if you buy a penny androind you get a penny android build. If you spend as much as an iphone costs, you will get a decent build and run most of the apps that are non Apple.
