I know perfectly well that iOS is exclusive to the iPhone line and that Android is, in essence, a 3rd party OS that leases its services to several manufacturers, I think you missed my point entirely here; my point was that 86.6% of the global smartphone market seem to think that Android is the better alternative, why do they not choose the superior product that is not overpriced and performs better compared to the competition, according to its fans? Or is it that the 12.3% are just a lot smarter as consumers? Is the majority of the market simply dense? Like I said; you missed my point, if iOS and Apple products were superior, fairly priced products, they would surely have a larger marketshare; it's not like Apple has lacked ambition since they launched the first iPhone (or before that, for that matter). Hats off to Apple for what they're doing; they are master salesmen, Steve Jobs was terrific at his job but he was not a tech-wiz or master innovator, he was a purebred marketing genius. The genius in Apple does not lie in superior products, innovation or even streamlining any more; it lies in the ability to build hype and inflate the perceived value through instilling a hip image with their products. None of that changes the fact that many, if not most, consider their products to be overpriced and their unfair and anti-consumer and anti-developer policies are not good for any of us, regardless of the user satisfaction of product owners. PS: I have a Xperia Z1, it's a decent phone. I've tried several others as well, I don't really enjoy any smartphone as I am simply not that interested in smart devices since they have very limited appeal and use to me in everyday life (I don't use services like Instagram or snapchat, I rarely surf even on the subway, and I don't use it for music or movies either). My GF has an iPhone 5, already repaired it twice in about a year and she's downloaded two large updates that caused crashes and problems. Anecdotal, of course, and I also find the interface to be lacking on her phone. I think ideally; I should get a Windows phone since I'm one of those crazy people who like their UI's... |
Oh wow.iPhone 6 is on top of all those benchmakrs except for ONE. Here is your initial statement: "you'll see that the iPhone more often than not underperforms compared to price (fans will then cite the "amazing quality and great design is what makes it worth it")." That a silly thing to say
Please stop. Apple does have the largest market share in the market they competing in. The PREMIUM market.
