So for example you might see a woman on a train typing an article, a guy in an office creating a presentation, a kid on the sofa playing a game with a controller on their TV, someone watching a film, someone developing code, kids playing with robots, a farmer planning animal feeding.
Well, those are things Windows users can already do. Adopting a new system takes a lot of effort, so you better give people a good reason: how is your system better than Windows?
Seemingly, it was designed as a cable-stayed bridge. This means the deck's main support is a central pylon and the cables attached to it. Except they only built one half of the bridge and no pylon. It was supported by literally nothing.
iPhone sales have risen strongly over the years, from around 1.4 million iPhones sold in 2007 to more than 216 million units worldwide in 2017.
Whereas Android rose to 1,290 million phones sold in 2017. And that's what I was talking about, market share, total sales from last year only.
In total, Apple has sold more than one billion iPhones worldwide from 2007 to 2017.
Tomi's numbers give Apple's installed base as 612 million units, or 19%, whereas Android's base is 2,696 million units, or 81%. All other systems put together sold so little that they get rounded down to 0%. I assume that's an estimate of everything still in use, not obsolete devices long abandoned in some drawer.
They're Chinese companies. They don't do creative designs, they just copy whatever trends they see.
(Not saying the people are incapable, but the socioeconomic context is not an incentive for them. I mean, if Apple comes up with something crazy, they have the ad budget to convince people it's actually a cool thing - even if it's completely retarded like that notch. The Chinese companies usually don't have the same persuasive power, so they just follow.)
Not long ago, you HAD to buy a high-end phone to get a decent user experience. But now, any midrange at $200-$300 has what it takes to run very well and do everything 99% of the users need.
I get where you're coming from: not long ago, anything "modest" was crap, so high-end devices were very much worth the cost. But that has changed. There are tons of $200~300 phones with solid specs and good design, so you don't need to spend a small fortune to get a good user experience anymore.
Seriously, FUCK Windows 10. Not only it is de facto spyware, it's a bug-ridden piece of shit, and it has one of the ugliest interface I've ever used. Also, fuck MS-Office, fact is LibreOffice will do everything that 99% of users need.

People filter zero-score (where AC posts start) due to shit like GNAA.

What to do when you're still loyal but they change the logo?
With Apple's ~40% market share
Globally, it's 14%.
Maybe they're well aware of it, but hey - got a phone, it still works, why spend money before you really have to?

They had a welfare meteor.
Designated crashing streets!
Though admittedly Windows 10 isn't actually half bad.
On a scale of "punched cards" to "Macintosh", I'd say Windows 7 is "not half bad", but Windows 10 is "what a mess."
Have you ever noticed this? B - I - N - G - Bing Is Not Google.

Rule of thumb: if Bill Gates says something is good, assume it is bad.
Yes I'm pointing out that smartphones now only have 3 hours of useful battery life. Forget that standby time, that's an absolutely useless metric.
Many phones last much more. See here.
Pretty much the only big tech company in Europe is Phillips, and arguably their most high tech product is LED lights
Philips also makes high-end medical devices: magnetic resonance scanners, tomographs, radiation therapy systems, and so on.
It lacks a very important feature: vendor lock-in.
If it has no 3.5mm jack, don't buy it. 'But there's an adapter' - NO. DON'T BUY IT, PERIOD.
Thé?
Ending the "winner takes all" system would help too.
It's Taiwan, the LEGITIMATE China. Not the fake commie one.
People who annoy governments tend to kill themselves, isn't that strange?
How about: it's a package of child rape, torture, mayhem, endangerment, organ theft, and medical fraud.
