Not to mention the cohesiveness of the ecosystem, the simple and long lasting phone, and the retained value, and it's quite easy to realize why the general consumers-people who don't care about specs-buy iPhones.

          Heck, even the newest and oldest S-Pen(s) works on every Samsung Galaxy Note Series. Take that, (Cr)Apple.

            I do understand how the new pencil will not work on old ipads.. Does this mean the old pencil will no longer be on sale? And I'm more interested in how their cases will turn out to be

              Galaxy Note 10, 01 Nov 2018No because they come with the product! Lol bro don't tell them things they can't handle

                  Ah, another planned obsolescence at (Cr)Apple's greatest. (Cr)Apple would rather want the $$ than customers' needs.

                              There is user manual you can read or google search if you have problems.

                              Same thing with IOS. I dont see how it's more easy to use if you have never used one.
                              I am not a fan of android but as there are no windows phones or windows as phone platform support anymore then i need to use android. But i dont find it complicated.
