            The more you try to convince others to buy it the more you lose.

                  If Apple needs an army of trolls just to convince others to buy their products that means that people don't wanna buy their products in the first place.

                    The "Apple invented music" should have helped spot it ;)

                    On subject : a lot of people who had no interest in smartphones before will buy an iPhone because it's simple to use, and limited enough to make sure they can do no damage.

                    I personnally had Windows Mobile phones, then Android phones, then bought an iPod Touch to see what it was all about (so I had almost the same thing as an iPhone).
                    It's nice, but becomes boring really fast :(
                    I don't play that much on my phone / mp3 player, so looking at a list of icons has its limits :p
                    For music, it's nice enough though.
                    It's hard to use such a small screen when you get used to bigger ones though (HTC HD2, Galaxy S3 then S4 now)

                              also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21zy13JsCYA Can't Innovate Anymore My Ass

                              The fact is, Phone markets doesn't need innovation now, useful innovations have been there already. You don't won phone markets with innovation, you won it by ecosystem and keeping devs to support your OS.

                              And like everyone know, Devs make a lot more money from iOS than android, so devs love iOS, so I don't see the problem here.

                                        - Apple invented the first mobile phone in year 2007 when iPhone was released.
                                        - Apple invented the music in year 2003 when iTunes Music Store was created.
                                        - Apple invented the mobile Apps
                                        - Apple invented aluminum so that it can release a mobile phone with an aluminum case
                                        - also back in the days Mac's have used IBM PowerPC processors but then Apple invented the x86 CPU so that it can equip their Mac's with Intel x86 CPU's, also Intel is very happy that Apple invented the x86 CPU. :)
