Yeah it's a great 'eco system' aint' it? I've had my phone a year. Okay so it's an S3 Neo but that isn't 'ancient'. It's running Kitkat 4.4.2. According to this 4.4.4 was released 18 months ago.
So I do a check for updates 'You are running the latest version'..
Great.
I guess I could through the faff of manually updating but I shouldn't have to.
