    Phil's lowball comments glorify the situation at Apple's headquarters. The competition is getting on them and instead of being a sport and taking it head on, they're taking kindergarten jabs. Sure we cannot deny the fragmentation in Android. However every complex ecosystem/operating system has some or the other form of fragmentation, including Windows. IOS users cannot understand that due to IOS being a limited OS. Which i hate to say but feels more like a digital photo frame at best. Phil should look up his UI first before commenting on others. It's barely changed since the invention of the original iphone itself. My 2 cents.

      Who cares about how old sth is? The key is what got more value for the money, and sure Android wins that.

        Apple's ios sucks when compared to android versions...so Mr.Schiller should rather be concerned on upgrading his os platform rather than criticising android which is far more advanced

                        no point of saying some thing and doing nothing. Apple have all the technolodgy, but they don't know what the market need at the speediest. Apple is very slow on releazing the Smarts phones compaired to Samsung. Samsun is launching S1V , Apple S5 is still in the old days.

                                    Even with Android 2.1 i can do a lot more than with iOS 5 or 6. Buy iPhone 5 and you'll see the same picture as iPhone 1, UI did't changed since 2007. I could not even call it as OS, boring as my calculator.
                                    So Phil Schiller eat this cake and enjoy!

                                        well i think mr.schiller has got really confused as to say what?he is well aware of the fact that apple's all 'innovation' hype died along with mr.steve jobs and there is no one left back there at cupertino based company other than dumb bunch of old guys. whereas on the other hand first BB then HTC One and now father of all samsung is going to squeeze nice nectar out of Apple.android 4.2.1 was released in november.if 3 months mean a year to mr.schiller then he must definitely be living in an advanced age.and the date today at his town will be 14'03'2113
