Newer versions of the O/S may be available at the time of launch, but you can’t just throw the latest version on the phone and expect everything will be OK. You don’t necessarily see this with Apple because they only have a single phone, and they’ll therefore advertise the “availability” of one O/S version. But you can bet your bottom dollar that Apple isn’t shipping the latest version of the O/S – it’s just the latest generally AVAILABLE version of the O/S, as other newer versions are in alpha, beta, and release candidate stages. This is a product of how the software development lifecycle works – it’s not unique to any one vendor or device.

Newer versions of Android like Jelly Bean may have a few issues that are being worked out and will mostly likely be fixed soon. So rather than installing a less proven version of Android on the device they are going to install the battle tested fully functional version for now. Once the new version passes all tests and manages all intended functions of your device with near perfection, then the device will update itself or give you a prompt letting you know it is time for an update. That is my understand anyway.

Can someone explain this to me?
