AnonD-994853, 28 Jul 2021I don't understand why people would buy more expensive... moreAnd I don't get it how people don't understand why... It's NOT all about specs. It's just NOT. Everyone here just looks at display, battery, chipset, camera and talk about it non freaking stop. And when you mention updates, everyone says Android is million light years ahead of iOS and that updates don't matter. Right. It's just funny how everyone was outraged suddenly when Sony said Xperia 1 III will get only one major update. I thought Android is so advanced it doesn't need any updates? Or last time on Moto 20 Pro, same deal. People suddenly caring about updates. Which is it?

People also don't seem to grasp the idiotically long delays all Android phone vendors have with updates. Security updates nearly always arrive almost a month late. July 2021 security update was received by most users at the end of July 2021. Don't get me started on major OS updates which often arrive several months later after Google has published it. There is no such thing with iOS. If update is out, it's out this moment for entire world for all iPhone users. Be it small security update or major OS update. And the fact all current models get 5 years of major updates and then extra 2 years of security updates totaling in 7 years of full active support it just makes Android phones with 4 years at best look like a joke where they kick you off from support as soon as they can just to sell you a new model with new software support. That's where iOS just has no competition and all the Android fanboys just can't understand this. They just can't grasp it how awesome it is to get updates the very moment they are out without any regional and provider based seeding nonsense all Android vendors use. Have you never seen ANY comment section about ANY Android phone update and how 3/4 of it is just people asking when update is out and why they still haven't got it and why it's taking so long? Well, this is that exactly.

Until a SINGLE Android vendor provides this, I'm staying with iPhone. But I guess I'm sticking with iPhone just because I'm an iSheep and only care about the Apple logo or some other made up nonsense by salty Android fanboys...

    You like it or not people love iPhones more than other phones around and the main hindering factor for buying them in bulk is the price

        Adegbenro, 28 Jul 2021Most likely because of the ecosystem. Most people tend to c... moreYes, and most people are too lazy to switch and learn to use another system. That's why some Android makers try to make their systems as close to iOS as possible to entice and make it easier for these people to switch to Android. And I don't think that's a bad thing.

          AnonD-994853, 28 Jul 2021I don't understand why people would buy more expensive... moreMost likely because of the ecosystem. Most people tend to continue buying iPhones once they've started. Apple has a very bright future since 80% of the teens in the USA presently use an iPhone. Since I carry 2 phones daily one will be an iPhone. The other will be a Galaxy Note as long as it's available on the market.

            Apple marketing is pretty good.

              AnonD-994853, 28 Jul 2021I don't understand why people would buy more expensive... morewhy you still don't understand? I think it is, because they bought only the brand name, not the phone Spec. Even people will buy it too if it costs $2000

                    I don't understand why people would buy more expensive Iphones when Expensive Android phones offer much more. Android phones only have midranges as their best sellers

                        And some people here still think Apple cares who sells more money.
                        Just 3 months of iphones sales are more revenue than all other companies (not just their phone business) except Samsung.
