"Cheap and disposable," huh? How is it then that only Apple iPhones have any appreciable resale value of all mobile phones? Your Android junk devices are the true disposables. The vast majority of Android devices cannot be safely erased of your data. . . even after Android devices were "blanked" to factory condition, personal data, photos, and even passwords were recoverable from supposedly empty phones and tablets.
Not so on any iOS devices. When an iOS device is erased, it is truly erased.
Apple devices have the best return for initial owners than any other device maker by far. That is NOT the sign of disposable devices.
Bendgate involved a total of NINE phones that were spontaneously bent accidentally because of being in someone's pocket. The rest were bent deliberately. When independent laboratories put iPhone 6 plus and competitor phones and phablets in test rigs, the iPhone 6 plus was STRONGER than all of the rest in resisting bending. Sorry, Bendgate was pure FUD.
“The vast majority of Android devices cannot be safely erased of your data. . .”
Samsung says all personal data is wiped ...
I have to admit, Android is a pig of an OS. iOS is superior in efficiency because the apps are C++ and Swift. That probably gives them a 25% or better edge.
Touch Disease is another matter entirely. I suspect that will kill the resale of 6 series phones.
