>What if your cloud instances could be updated with the same certainty and precision as your mobile phone – with carrier grade assurance that an update applies perfectly or is not applied at all?

Worst pitch analogy ever. You mean 2 years late to the party if at all? The reason the iPhone works so good is that carries have nothing to do with the phone.

Not had this problem as I always get my phones unlocked from the vendor, but I believe the pitch was more along that line rather than the persistent joy of waiting months after an update lands only to find out Verizon isn't going to patch their version of the mobile operating system and push the update.
