Apple Says Many Users 'Bought an Android Phone By Mistake'
mrspoonsi (2955715) writes "Apple CEO Tim Cook during his keynote said that around 130 million customers have purchased their first Apple device in the last twelve months. He states, 'Many of these customers were switchers from Android,' he said. 'They had bought an Android phone by mistake, and then had sought a better experience and a better life.' He added that almost half of those who have purchased an iPhone in China since December have switched from Android. However, it is worth noting that iPhones were not actually available in China until December, when pre-orders began, so it is unclear how much of the device's popularity there is simply down to the novelty factor, rather than a burning desire to flee from Android."
The geographical limitations of me buying an app from the iStore killed it for me.
Geographical? What? You do know the App Store isn't an actual store in the mall, right?
Pretty good is actually pretty bad.
Pity you've continued to claim it was Apple but haven't yet stated WHY it was banned in SA by Apple.
You claimed you contacted the author, what reason was he given?

Citation needed. I haven't customized the shit out of my new Nexus 5, but I have experienced the odd freeze-up, requiring a restart. I don't recall ever seeing that on my old iOS device, and quite frankly, the ability to make your UI look like even more like shit is not something I'd choose another time. And while Apple's garden may be walled, Google's is under constant surveillance, recorded for later use.
Everyone says that Android is the bee's knees. I just don't see it.
With a good product, you don't have to spend time making it work well. Have you learned nothing from the awfulness of desktop Windows?
