Well no surprises here... People chose quality over whatever Android is these days.
The truth is that the whole Android "phenomenon" is just a huge bubble. People will ditch it for the better choice be that a cheap WP8 or a cheaper iphone.
Nobody needs an unreliable phone and that is what Google will ever offer us.

Things goes up and down all the time, but again, it's about how Symbian died even when it was super popular.
And if Apple fu**s that up, then Apple will be in big troubles, because 60% of what Apple is earning is coming from iOS devices.

That analyzist already said Apple profit will go do down for now, after that news Apple profit raised. So Yeah this guy even couldnt see very near future :D so Yeah in future anything could happen or not.

Intelligent response there......
Top tip for you though.. If you're going to try to be witty in your insults. Try to raise the level of your humour above that of the average 6 year old..
Oh & try to raise your spelling & grammar at the same time too. A more apalling level of intellect I've never seen..

Firstly because I'm surprised that someone would actually post an answer that the reason the largest online retailer in the world stocks such a large range of accessories is because no-one buys them....
& secondly judging by your post I'm surprised that your mum has allowed you to stay up so late & use the computer..

Android has nowhere near the amount of 3rd party accessories as ios. The odd NFC speaker doesn't make up for the thousands of 30 pin iphone/ipad speaker docks out there.
I'm not counting bluetooth speakers as they're cross compatible with all bluetooth enabled devices. so half the NFC speakers come into this category as they're also bluetooth which means they're compatible with iphones too.
And as for apps - just because there are android cameras etc - they still only have a small selection of apps for them. By far the greatest selection of apps are for android phones & combine them all & they still number less than the amount of apps available for ios.
If you search Amazon (the biggest online retailer) for Android accessories it comes up with just over 307,000. If you search for a popular phone, say the samsung galaxy s3 accessories then there are around 139,000 accessories.
Search for iphone accessories & the number is just over 1.1 million.....

The article said that the trend is about to change. So just because Apple have the most accessories and the most apps for iOS devices atm, that is very likely to change very fast soon if Apple doesn't change the way they are going now.
You are to blind in numbers to see into the future.
Wake up and have some sense.

Exactly and iOS is by far biggest in this, know why? Because there's 300 million iOS devices which share same size and form factor etc. So third party gadgets makers have huge markets, unlike android when there's so different size products so its very hard for gadget makers, because there's much lower amount of markets, when iOS gadgets have huge markets.

As it stands iOS devices have over double the third party accessories than all android devices combined. And the AppStore is far bigger too.
Although judging by your previous posts you'll probably ignore this fact as though it was never written.....
