    Maybe I don't. You'd have a better chance to get your point through if you had any examples supporting your views. Pretentious Latin words instead of the English equivalents don't do the job.

    It's only pretentious if, ceteris paribus, you want it to be so.

    They could work on keeping phones updated but I suspect there are internal battles in these companies "If we update the old phones, no one will buy the new one", failing totally to realise that most people destroy their handset over 2 years (or whatever their contract is).



    I'm sure Samsung has also realised (or will soon) that brand loyalty only works if you treat the customer well, eg sending out updates. No wonder Apple have such loyalty when they refresh old handsets with the latest software, they constantly keep their brand in front of the user, even if it is an old handset.



    So no wonder people buy Apple next time round.



    Agreed.
