Any apps Verizon does happen to include are not the reason for the holdup, they are already written, and can be found on the play store.  The only difference is that they are put in the system partition instead of the user partition, they aren't part of the OS in any way. If there are things included with the new release that you NEED for your daily use of the phone, then you bought the wrong phone, you should have bought one that included this to start with

When we say apps, we are talking about the BLOATWARE that Verizon puts on top of the Android Upgrades.  And yes making sure those work as intended.  So it very well can slow down the process, otherwise if it were the Samsung version of the update we would've had it by now.

Of course they can. Yes most of the employees do not have the ability to answer questions regarding updates. Yes certain employees are under a NDA, but also yes they certainly can provide us with information if they wanted to, they have chosen not to. By choosing not to provide any information whatsoever is not a good customer care/service oriented decision. It's not like they would be giving out classified information that is detrimental to the country. It is ridiculous and not a good way to do business.

I am new to this forum and was wondering what exactly is a Verizon apologist and what would motivate one to do so?

Well, I have done that. I guess I just would like to know why. What is the motivating factor to throw out all common sense just to obviously defend Verizon?
