A few months ago, I made this chart showing how far back different phone makers were supporting the new mobile OS’s hitting the market.

Some things have changed since then and I only felt it necessary to update the chart (different scale and colors, but same point).

So the story isn’t quite as dire as once thought. Most Android users will have to wait a few months to actually get the update, but it is good that these device makers have decided to be a little more reasonable in supporting older devices.
