HTC hints they may consider Android 5.1 for One M7 after all
Now let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, HTChasn’t announced it is changing its position on Android 5.1 for the M7, but Mo Versi has responded on Twitter, saying that many of the bug fixes introduced with 5.1 have already been applied to HTC’s current 5.0-based software but they “understand your concerns. Stay tuned.”
I heard you all on M7 5.1 for Carrier versions. Many of the fixes are already in our current SW, but understand your concerns. Stay tuned.— Mo Versi (@moversi) March 20, 2015
His response means a few possibilities. First, HTCcould officially release Android 5.1 for the One M7 and then shut the doors on updates after that. Second, HTCcould simply release a few more patches to its existing software that addresses any other remaining major bugs, without bumping the software up to 5.1. Third, Mo Versi could just be responding to calm people down and save a little face. Regardless, it is a good sign that HTCis at least listening to its customers and responding, instead of just giving M7 owners the silent treatment.
What do you think, since HTCdelivered its promise on 2 years of updates already, should we expect them to release Android 5.1 (which is mostly a bug fix) anyway, or is their obligation to their buyers already more than fulfilled?
