Or, Apple actually makes well made good phones which people find desirable?
I understand it is popular to talk trash about them, but maybe their popularity is not all just a product of misguided masses?
What is more likely: that millions of people spend money on something they use constantly without caring whether it’s actually good, or that your emotional attachment to Android has caused you not to reconsider whether your tastes are in fact universally shared?
Any time you see billions of dollars changing hands for years in a competitive market but don’t understand why, the answer is always to learn more about it.
And yet every post about phones there's people acting like no phones that meet their requirements exist. They definitely exist. I think what they really intend to say is "Why doesn't Samsung put these exact features I want on the Galaxy S Whatever"
It doesn't help when a very large number of phone users only care about one thing: it being an Apple phone. They will lap up anything Apple gives them every single time. It doesn't matter what the features are.
