I don't know that I'll ever be tempted to buy an iThingy but my two
Android devices (a Huawei phone and Google Nexus 7" tablet) illustrate
the different levels of support from different companies. The Huawei
phone is several levels back from the current version of Android with no
hope of ever being updated. Even discovering that little factoid is
difficult. I'm not worried about it because it was cheap and I only use
it as a dumb phone that can also take pictures. The Google Nexus is
totally different. Since it's a Google product it's more like the
support you get from Apple or Microsoft. On the Nexus, updates to the
OS and apps are common and take place automatically. I only have a
couple of apps. They don't communicate with each other but have no need to.
One of these days I'll probably have to decide which mobile camp I'm in.
What I know at the moment is that I'll be very selective as to the
hardware supplier if it's Android or something else.

The tendency of Android makers to leave individual models stuck with
aging versions of the OS that can't be updated is just crap. The
variations in hardware quality and OS support make iDevices and iOS seem
like a haven of simplicity, quality and reliability.
