The fact that all iOS users are herded into just 3 models versus the diversity of choice that Android provides gives a false impression of how popular iphones are in Europe and the world. Worldwide, iphones only attract 13% of smartphone consumers. 81% prefer the many flagships of Android.

Apple has also good IPad sells, can't say same thing about Iphones, they're quite expensive here. Also Windows Phone is growing here.

              AnonD-80553, 10 Jul 2014German courts rarely favours moto. Not the first time they ... moreWhy would Moto need to be "favored"? Should they be allowed to get away with crimes just because you like them? I think this is good, crappy phones with stolen antennas should be stopped, and theres even a ruling for recalling sold phones, wow, thats a nice lesson for slow learners, they knew it was infringing with Moto X and still they used the same antenna tech in Moto G, thats really no accident but clearly done with a criminal intent. Unfortunately the innocent Lenovo could be the ones to pay for Googles patent theft here.

                German Court's decision makes no sense. Germany is becoming a dictatorship under Merkel

                    German courts rarely favours moto. Not the first time they ban their products. How about S5, did it also come with the LDS antenna it was rumored to have?
