      If u can't afford just don't say anything.. cause peaople who buy iPhone get wat they paid for...

      Otherwise no one will buy iPhone...

      If you think ur laggdroid is best nobody cares... all we care about is we love the product what we have... if u can't appreciate it, atleast take time to appreaciate what u have... cause u talk $hit about Apple it only means ur jealous, envy of others using Apple products and pherhaps ur bored enough customizing ur lagdroid and not contented enough of wat u have...

        Microsoft should copy Apple and develop both hardware and Windows 10 themself! Windows 10 is far better han both Android and iOS, and should benefit from the fact that apps and games for Windows 10 are playable on both phones and tablets/computers!

                Apple is the best technology to carry.

                Desktop, Mobile Laptops, Mobile Phones, Tablets, Watches. Apple have it all covered. And each of the components are deeply integrated to each other via their Softwares.

                The rest are simply mismatch OS / Hardwares.

Games make my phone super hot. Wifi issue. Multi tasking with small apps sucks - unable. Don't understand why the hell they put that it got "all apps" in phone again user need
                  - one calculator in widget
                  - one in small apps
                  - one in app drawer
                  - one in home screen
                  - one in notification area

                  what the hell ... this is what is android. Put unnecessarily more stuff but you use hardly one. This is not a sign of advanced OS , this is a sign of stupid idea.
                  And photos - z2 does not take bad photos but that camera app comes with 10+ preset, image editor, more junk stuff. I never used them. I need simple camera that just works and takes better photo and off course does not lag.
                  I need iPhone for that.

I should have thought that if a mobile os requires so much RAM, cores to run a mobile OS to make this junk run - it must be Alpha or pre alpha software . Looking forward to buy IP6s later :-(

No. People want simple things, thing they don't need to learn to operate. iPhones are just that - simple to use phones with some good apps and games. Andoid lets you customize almost every aspect of your phone, but you need to know how to do it. Apple doesn't let you, so you don't even care about changing it.

                                It just means that Apple is charging you hell alot of money for their devices. They are earning millions and millions out of your pockets.

                                The apple came at 5th for number of units which is only stating that you are getting robbed from Apple and don't even know about it.

                                    No you are the stupid one who doesnt understand that the phones sitting in stores or warehouse doesn't make money, read (samsung) and everyone else.

                                    Samsung would get as big profits if they could sell 60 million S6 in one quarter, but they are very very very far from that, they sold maybe 10 million so of course Apple profits are a lot bigger when they sell over 60 million iPhones which mosta are 6/6+.

                                      Apple is making more money for the following reasons
                                      just one product line so more R&D as compared to others with tens of products
                                      expensive product with a low cost of production in china and thus big profit margin
                                      simplistic OS for the old and young
                                      you pay for every(most) app and service with iphones so more money for apple and app developers
                                      very good hardware and continuous support for older phones.
                                      the first in the business.
                                      so personally i will never spend a dollar on an iphone, i think its OS for children and dump people but i have to admit they know how to make good hardware and to make people spend their money directly and indirectly. so the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer.
