Android is superior in that custom roms are available and it’s much more tweakable.

I have a Nexus 5 and it’s an outstanding phone. Android tablets ate coming along, too.

I confess, while I am not an Apple hayer, I never saw what the big deal was about.

History repeats itself. It was easier to develop for Windows that for the Mac and now it is easier to develop for Android than it is for IOS.

If Apple was smart, they would do away with their review process for apps and leave it to users to decide which apps are good and which aren't - the way Google does it.

They are all going to lose sales. The iPhone 4 still works sufficiently for anyone but a true power user. Why upgrade? Ditto for Droid. Especially true given how obastard’s policies have successfully (and intentionally) degraded the middle class (Bourgeoisie in obastard’s Marxist parlance).

It took the ENTIRE rest of the industry just to break even with a single product from Apple.

The entire current intellectual premise of current smart phones is built upon the original iPhone of 2007.

The rivals have not come close to Apple’s dominance.

Good for them that they have something that can now compete.

Why would people change the battery on their phones?

Because they keep their phones for so many years that they need to put a new battery in it?

Actually no.

Apple has a superior set of interoperable devices that allows the root iOS to cooperate in ways that are difficult for Google and Android. Windows does not share so well.

It is amazing how people have for almost 20 years now decried the absolute end of Apple.

If people don’t want to buy apple products then fine. Why does that choice have to be followed with epitaph for Apple?

I love apple but I am glad samsung and android make phones to compete and challenge the market.

I’m a user of their laptops and desktops but nothing lasts forever ‘but the earth and sky.’

A 2 year phone contract doesn’t help sell new models that come out every 6-9 months. But then, neither does a $600+ plus retail price.
