Most iPhones from the same era can run and DO run the latest version of iOS.

They won't buy an iPhone if they *needed* Flash content.

Why would you need the latest version of everything, if you are just satisfied with the current one?

Sandman
That's the reason why they're not buying a new PHONE. Google and the handset makers lock them in to the version that is on their phone. They can't do anything but buy a new phone. Locked tight!

Lewis
But Android is OPEN!

And the handsets are CLOSED. Want the latest Android? Get a new phone! Ooops, just bought a new phone and there's a new version of Android? Damn, perhaps you should buy yet another one?
