Android 7.0 is here, why haven’t you used 6.0 yet?
|
Every time Apple releases a new version of iOS, it compares the upgrade rate of its own iOS system with that of the new version of Android. Of course, Android is always beaten by iOS. In fact, Android 7.0 has already released a preview version. Unfortunately, most users have not even used Android 6.0, and the 5.X system is still strong. On the contrary, the upgrade rate of iOS 9 has reached nearly 80%, but the proportion of Android 6.0 has just exceeded 1%. We have complained about the fragmentation of Android for many years, and it seems that there is still no improvement until now. So, what exactly caused the upgrade rate of Android 6.0 to not keep up? In fact, the update push of the Android system is carried out after the manufacturer adapts. Generally speaking, the push of the new Android system mainly includes three steps. First, after Google releases the new version of the system, each chip manufacturer first provides the lowest-level support and provides the code for the communication between the operating system and the hardware. However, there is more than one chip manufacturer and more than one product, so it is more troublesome to adapt. After the hardware manufacturer completes the adaptation, the native system will be sent to each mobile phone manufacturer for customization. As mobile phone manufacturers put more and more effort into system optimization, the corresponding system customization is becoming more and more complex, and the time required for adaptation is getting longer and longer. In addition, manufacturers have to conduct multiple rounds of stability testing, so consumers are destined not to experience the latest version of the system in the first place. After the manufacturer successfully completes the above two steps, it does not mean that consumers can "eat" the latest Android system. Because after the manufacturer completes the system adaptation, it must be tested by the operator to ensure that the mobile phone network can be used normally. You must know that in the operator testing phase, as long as the mobile phone is connected to the network, each model must be tested. Considering the large number, the speed cannot keep up. The three points mentioned above have all led to the inability of the latest Android system to push updates to consumers in a short period of time. However, compared with the slow update push of the Android system. How does Apple push the latest version of iOS efficiently and quickly? The reason is very simple. Because Apple has relatively few product devices, Apple only needs to adapt to a few models, which does not take a long time. In addition, the iPhone also uses its own processor, so the underlying support adaptation can also be done by itself. In this way, a lot of time from chip manufacturers to system customization when the Android system is upgraded is saved. For most Android users, slow upgrades are actually tolerable, but whether they can be upgraded is a problem. To be precise, whether Android users can use the latest Android system depends entirely on the mobile phone manufacturer. Therefore, we often see different manufacturers announce the list and order of their products upgrading to the new version of Android. In fact, this is also a game made by manufacturers with limited resources. According to common sense, the latest models are usually the first to get the latest system, because this is a major selling point for new products, followed by flagship models and key models. If the model you use is not within these two ranges, you may not be able to upgrade to the latest version of Android in the first place. Of course, if you encounter a situation where the hardware of the mobile phone cannot keep up or the model has been discontinued, then your mobile phone may never be able to upgrade to the latest version of Android. The fragmentation problem of Android has always been a major problem that plagues Android manufacturers. As long as this problem exists, Android is destined to be unable to catch up with iOS. There is a very interesting phenomenon that although the Android system is getting better and better, it has gradually caught up with or even surpassed Apple in terms of fluency and practicality of functions. However, due to the fragmentation problem, the update speed of the Android system is still much slower than iOS. As a joke, when most users use the Android 6.0 version of the system, most Apple users are already using iOS 10. Android 7.0 Earlier, it was reported that Google wanted to take back Android's upgrade rights, and in the future, it would be similar to iOS to directly upgrade the system without manufacturer adaptation. Although it was finally abandoned, it also showed Google's dissatisfaction with Android fragmentation. However, the editor still thinks that Android fragmentation is an unsolvable problem. As long as there are enough mobile phone manufacturers, fragmentation is doomed to be unsolvable. What's more, policies vary from place to place. Even if Google takes back the upgrade rights, is it sure to work in mainland China? Fortunately, the Android system has gradually improved to a usable level. Therefore, in a certain sense, Android 5.X version may not be enough, so it is better to be open-minded about upgrading to the latest version of the system.
