iOS Software Updates vs. Blackberry Software Updates. The Big Difference.
After the awesome thread about the US prez having a BB, I decided to see if I could pull out another one of those threads. I love great discussions! Anyway, this time, I decided to focus my attention to Blackberry Software Updates vs. iOS Updates. Its not a comparison but I'm trying to ask everyone here why there is one big difference.
Let me explain further:
When you hook up to iTunes using an iOS device, you can update regardless of your carrier. It updates and you don't have bloatware.
Now, when you hook up a Blackberry device to BBDM (Desktop Manager), it sometimes won't let you update to the latest and greatest because your carrier hasn't "approved" it.
Why is that so? If I had a choice I would find iOS updates safer in security because its directly from Apple to you.
Why does Blackberry have to make this system?
Blackberry OS Makers (RIM) >> Carriers >> Blackberry Desktop Software >> Users >> Installation on BB Devices
Whereas, iOS goes like this:
Apple iOS Makers >> iTunes >> Users >> Installation
To sum that up, its just straight forward. iOS doesnt have app links to crap around with because they don't give it to carrier. We all know iOS isn't as safe as BB OS but I find the way of updating your phone via Apple way better...
What do you guys think?
