Bought my iphone 4 in 2010 :), 4 years of updates friends or 48 months, ios 7 will be the last update, but never the less it runs ios 7, that's the reason i go with apple :) i don,t wanna buy s4 and wait a year and it's obsolete for updates lol

    Lol
    Nice, I always told you guys iPhone>rest
    No update for the s3, what a shame. Glad I got an iOS device.

        S3 lte was released in 2012, September. I bought it a couple of months after. I thought Samsung updates their phones for 18 months, kitkat was released in the beginning of the year, so 16 months after s3 lte release. So why no update?

        Furthermore 2gb ram is not enough for a android version which require 512mb?

        If Samsung forget us, I will forget Samsung in my next smartphone purchase.

        For everybody who says to go to cyanogen, cyanogen is buggy, I tried it in my s2 and I was dissapointed. It is understandable, the guys are not paid to give me a stable software. But Samsung got 450 euro from me and I only received one update from 4.1.1 to 4.3

          List is incomplete in my opinion.
          Samsung has already said they would upgrade to jb first then to kitkat later their SIII's.

            May be it is because of the old exynos chipset

                Billie, 20 Feb 2014Simbly load Cynagenmod and enjoy Kitkat!!CM11 would have been a good choice if it wosant so buggy. I used it for nearly 2months before I went back to official 4.3.

                      if this is true, then that is all.. Months ago, i read Samsung stops the hardware race and focus more on software.. Why S3 won't receive KitKat then? Where's your promise, Samsung??

                          I didn't update to Jelly bean 4.3 for fear of many draw backs. Now will I be able to update to Kitkat? How?

                            What the hell.i will kill u samsung. S3 is better then the grand we know that s3 has 1gb of ram but it has quadcore processor and kitkat requires only 512 mb of ram.SAMSUNG THATS NOT FAIR.

                                      The same happened to the first Galaxy S i9000. Here's a pattern to be seen.
