My three year old Samsung phone came with Gingerbread and never got updated past Gingerbread. I own the phone - paid for in full from the start. My Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet that is a year old has never been updated past the original Android Jellybean version and Samsung says there is no intent to update it.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 was released in July 2012 when it had Gingerbread. It was later updated to Jellybean 4.1. In 2014 a newer version of the 10.1 was released with Kitkat 4.4. If you have the older revision then Jellybean is probably the last update due to hardware restraints.
I've only had Samsung Android devices myself. All of which have been among the first to get updates and all received updates for at least 2 to 3 years. I had iPhones and iPods thru version 4. Had too many problems with them, most notably with corporate email exchange/sync compatibility and not a fan of iTunes nor Apples closed system so I switched to Android and been happy ever since.
I think for the most part iOS or Android work well for what they're intended and it comes down to personal preference and needs.
