But you are the one who only pirates and does not buy the product so maybe you are part of the problem.

                  Android offers several times more apps for a zero price or for a bare minimum.
                  Compared to apple where even the unwanted garbage ask at least 1 dollar.
                  The people making apps for google doing it for free where apple charge them at least 100 bucks a year.
                  And if googl disclose its sales between Xmas and new Year they will easily prevail apple like nothing.
                  Google was always user friendly where apple just needs your money and dont care about the rest.

He is right if Apple stops selling hardware their services revenue will start to decline and will totally collapse rather quickly. iOS and iphones will be considered a dead platform and people will stop wanting to use it because there's no foreword direction.

                              A lot of apps are free to download and used because they contain apps. Nobody said anything about apks.

                                The limit is 4 working days but it never took longer than 1 hour to get a refund from Google Play.

                                "GPlay also have apps which seem to violate T&Cs in their store, they aren't even reviewed"

                                What apps are those and exactly what T&Cs? I bet you won't be able to say.

Also repairing android phone is easier and cheaper. And lastly you need to buy new phone once in 3 years. OS don't matter.

Initially I used to get free productivity apps, picture editing etc.. but as you have mentioned it was way long back after the stock apps almost provide similar functionalities! Never bought games, only subscribe for OneDrive
