The cult of Apple was bound to run out of steam eventually.
—
At nearly US$2.5 trillion valuation AAPL still has a lot of steam to let out. Target price is $150 by some analysts - more steam coming.
Meanwhile the cult of Android is fragmented, uncertain, filled with love of sending their personal data to Google who then sells it to any interested 3rd party - including those in China.
Yup, they’re still over valued. But of course when you sell nothing but overpriced products that’s to be expected. But they’re trending down.
No cult of Android. It’s just the other choice. You either pay $900 for a $400 phone, or you get an Android. And of course Apple is selling your stuff just as much as anybody. They just put a lot of time into lying about it:

So you keep paying twice as much to be lied to. Meanwhile I recognize the truth, there is no privacy anymore. Hasn’t been for nearly 30 years. And what little there was got shot in the head the minute smartphones got invented.
