They actually started charging more if people wanted to keep the "4G" speeds. It was just a big scam.
Wow! I totally missed that scam. And I have AT&T.

Jailbreak Me was able to be used because of an issue with PDF rendering on a couple versions of iOS. It was fixed in an iOS update.

Most Android devices are running Gingerbread. That was released 4 years ago...

To be honest, i love Apple products very much. Over the years, i've own several iPhones, iPods and iPads. The WWDC 2014 event presentation was amazing. Just that i didn't like the part when they put down Android for having such a low percentage of users running their latest software, KitKat at 9% compared IOS 7, which has an impressive 89% adoption. I mean, why put down your rival this way? What kind of marketing tactic is this? Or are you afraid Android will overtake you someday? I'm dissapointed at Apple for this. \:

Agreed!! In 2012 prior to owning an iPhone I had an Evo 3D running gingerbread. Its pretty sad that 2 years later people are still running it and it wasn't even new in 2012.

You are disappointed in Apple stating facts? The point is that there is much more consistency across the iOS world. That’s a fact. It’s also true that developing apps for a single platform is much easier and quicker than having to tweak the app for multiple versions of the OS, as in the Android world. It’s also a fact that this statement was made to developers at a developer conference.
It’s not about fear of Android overtaking them. It’s about telling the truth do your developers at your developer conference. Pure and simple.

But they're not. Most are running Jelly Bean, which is 4.1 to 4.3 combined. Even just looking at 4.1 it's larger than 2.3 by and large. Google is also able to roll out many API changes outside of an OS update as well, these days. It's not as bad of a situation as many forums and, *ahem*, "journalists" would lead you to believe.
It could absolutely be better but it is far, far better for both users and developers than it has been in the past. This isn't Google's fault, the OEMs don't have Apple's clout when it comes to updates, and they love their death grip. The other fault is the chipset manufacturers dropping support for their boards in order to push new silicon. And then there's just the feasibility of support old hardware (like the iPhone 4 being dropped for iOS 8). There's a lot of FUD and disinformation when it comes to Android updates, just thought I would share as someone fairly in the know.
Certainly, Apple does it better. Certainly, Google needs to push for longer and better support. Won't deny that, at least.
I'm not discrediting Google at all but most people I know with Android devices are running Gingerbread. That was the point of my post & it's very sad that the devices they have never got an update to Jelly Bean.
Well, that's anecdotal evidence, and, while true, doesn't at all represent the larger picture. For example, most people in my area are running at least Ice Cream Sandwich and it's surprising to see anyone running Gingerbread still. Totally different. That's why I chimed in, since we're in a thread about quoting statistics.
