Good lord, what a stupid, insipid article.

Choice of phone has no actual correlation with politics. It has to do with perception and value.

Apple is a high and mid-high end hardware/software (i.e. system) brand. Period. They don't make crap.

Android isn't a brand, it's an operating system. You can't lump all the various Android-based phones together.

Samsung (for instance) makes a large range of Android-based phones, some of which are just as high-end as the best iPhones.

But a lot of Android-based phones are low-end crap. People with less money buy cheap products. D-uh.

Politics has little or nothing to do with choice of phone. Attempts to demonstrate otherwise are bullsh*t.

"Good lord, what a stupid, insipid article."

Exactly. And ComputerGuy's follow up comments are spectacular crappola right in the same class.

I agree. My main concern is that Apple manufactures in China. Samsung at least does it in Korea, HTC in Taiwan.
