Microsoft accuses Apple that the software updates are released for iPhones so as to have more hardware to sell. As new iOS versions are often slower to run on older iPhones, would Apple the sale of new devices want to win.
That, says Terry Myerson, recently joined Microsoft head of the Windows Phone division. He would his statements during the Mobile World Congress in a dialogue with analysts have done. According to Myerson would Apple include the iOS 5 update for iPhone 3GS released, because it was so slow running that users need to get a new iPhone to purchase.
Users have indeed complained about the software updates that Apple has made available. Or Apple is actually a strategy by which software updates are deployed to the purchase of new hardware to promote, however, is difficult to verify: new iOS software is running, although slower, but this also has to do with adding new features.
In addition it was Myerson critical compared to Android. The Microsoft ceo claims that smartphones with Googles mobile operating system never updates be provided. However, that is not true: there will be regular software updates to new Android versions. However, it usually takes some time before a manufacturer of a new rom release after Google makes a new version of its mobile OS to announce.
It is not the first time that Microsoft is critical compared to its competitors. The last time fight the company was mainly a battle with Google. Microsoft is on the mobile market with Windows Phone, which makes it a greater share of the market try to acquire compared to Google and Apple.
