Why doesn't any other phone manufacturer have this problem?

Apple relies very heavily on customized silicon to provide an edge (Lower power consumption, for example, or extra features). This means that there might be a part out there that's sorta close, but not quite. Once Apple starts pushing their customized silicon, the off-the-shelf part doesn't keep up.

Other phone manufacturers aren’t as prolific in updating the low level firmware of their devices once it’s on the market?
