            Lot of people are. When people actually spend money on their devices and want something better most choose iPhone. Android high end phone sales are down every year, less and less people want those. I guess people got screwed enough times and they just want longevity which iPhone offers. People are waking up from the android scam.

                  This of course have nothing to do with the fact that last quarter 86% of android phones sold cost under $200. If Apple would release $200 iPhone they would easily steal 50% of share. Because a lot of people want iPhone, but it's not just a possible for them because they don't want that good phone. Most want cheap phone because they don't really need more. They couldn't care less if it runs android, they are forced to use android.

                  Or why you think Apple alone sells over 50% of all phones cost over $400? Because when people actually want something more than just a cheapest possible phone, most choose iPhone.

                      Can you give examples about this? sounds more like to me that you don't use iPhone so you don't know. i can almost bet when you give examples i say you don't need to do it like that, that's happening 99% times when i see that comment. So let's see.

And then there's small group who just need to use android or iOS for certain needs.

                          Best way to prevent the glass from breaking during drops is to create a slight lip with the frame to protect the glass. Sony used to do this (Z5 series) and it worked wonderfully. Unfortunately we now favor curved screens (with ugly cases) these days over functionality.

The kind of flexibility and customisations, features iOS way too behind and restricted. iOS slowly accepting and adapting many of the Android core functionalities very very slowly. Having said that iOS smoothness is too good but that doesn’t make their old tech better than Android. Even OnePlus Nord has better feature vs price proposition. I have used 11 before jumping to 11 Pro Max. Apple is determined to milk their sheeps as long as they can with their super slow motion innovations and new features. For me going to 6.1 from 6.5 inches or 6.8 inches will be considered as downgrade and iPhone 12 Pro Max is costing more than Galaxy Z Fold 2 in my place!! No kidding!

                                Kindly lemme know when Apple fixes these issues then we can consider iOS to be as good as Android.

                                -No seamless connectivity with devices other than Apple devices.
                                -Half baked widget system.
                                -Limited customization ability.
                                -No theme store which facilitates in changing the look of the device with one click.
                                -Users have to beg for new features.
                                -Overpriced products and accessories along with high servicing costs.
                                -Limited Product Catalogue.
                                -No privacy, company specializes in giving users the illusion of privacy.
                                -Dead in innovation department despite being worth trillion dollars.
                                -Looting the customer base under the disguise of saving the environment.
                                -Blaming the user for their hardware failures like AntennaGate.
                                -Deliberately slowing down phones and battery through software updates.
                                -Handicapped nature of the OS where an user has to jump through 10 different steps to get basic things done.
                                -Duping users into buying into the 5 year update scam where they give latest features 5-10 Years late.

Android is poor people choise and when people want something better experience, most of them buy iPhone.

And I'm sitting here with iPhone XR from 2 years ago running iOS 14 and all I can say is BUUUUUUUULLMANURE. Apart from minor differences, they are basically the same thing. People need to stop selling this BS how Android is this magical thing that does all, has all and iOS only allows you to open Gallery to watch photos and make a call. That's such delusional BS it makes me cringe every time I read it from silly pathetic self absorbed Android fanboys. Both Android and iOS have come so far everything they add is just a small convenience or minor addition. Both operating systems are very mature now and saying one is vastly superior to other is just straight up BS. Just stop it already, you look like absolute fools still trying to selling this nonsense.
