I actually have confidence in Apple's image processing because they've made inferior hardwore (their iPhone 6/6s cameras produce pictures that seem a lot better than the hardware that shot them). Technically, the iPhone 6/6s/6s+ cameras are a joke compared to the cameras in Samsung's S7/Edge/Note lineup, yet people like you and the other poster think the iPhone has a good camera. They didn't. Now they do. Plus they have custom chipset just for the camera and a boatload of image processing software to back it up now. |

You are also confusing the complete flexibility of Android to various user experiences offered by manufacturers. If all you want is a phone that works, TouchWiz, Sense, Xperia, or UX work just fine out of the box just like BB10, and WP and iOS. I do like that Android is completely flexible, but that's not valid as a criticism of it ... it's my choice if I want to avail myself of it. If all you want is an Android phone that just works, there are tons of options that are just as easy to start using as an iPhone. The iPhone works for you, and millions of others, simply because after 7 generations of product it's just second nature. That doesn't make it a good user experience, a good OS, or a good product. |

The smartphone market has matured/peaked for some time, hence many smartphone makers new offerings have less new features or worthy features. This results in people losing interest in upgrading to the next new thing and they just keep their current phone for a longer period of time. This is applicable to IOS or android. I have a 6SP and I would like it to last 3 years, assuming battery life stays as spectacular as it is currently. |

The phone does everything i need it to and much, much, more. I don't need it to be clever, i just want it to open the app that i tap. I want it to dial the number that i tap. I want it to play the VM that i tap. I want it to play my music that i tap. I want it to take a picture when i press the capture button. It does all that just fine. So for me and as you pointed out, millions of others, that is what gives it a good user experience, a good OS and a good product. I don't think android is shit or bad or icky or what ever, i just don't want to use it. Thankfully (for both of us) we have a choice.

I just know how to work the iPhone because as you said i'm used to it. But it's nice to be able to pick up any other iPhone and either help someone out or get help myself. The fact that it's rigid in that respect is a plus for many iPhone users. That said, when ever i do upgrade, i think i might move to the larger 7+. I'll have to handle one first even though i do like holding things that make my hands look small.

Yet AAPL trades at 10 times earnings and MSFT trades at 30 times. Gotta love the market. AAPL *ONLY* sold 231m phones in 2015 and will probably sell around 220m in 2016 (OMG DECLINE). For the Cook haters, Cook decided to launch the 6 and 6 plus to get people wanting larger screens, starting the super cycle. The only reason iPhone sales are down even slightly is because a CRAZY amount bought the 6 and 6 plus due to pent up large screen demand. Fun fact. When Jobs died in 2011, Apple shipped around 72m phones. As I said, they more than tripled their iPhone output to 231m phones in 2015. Cook has done fine. The watch actually might gain traction soon as it functions as a standalone GPS device, perfect for athletes. Now to grow services and move away from being a "hardware only" company. |

Bluetooth audio sound quality doesn't compare anywhere near that of the legacy analog jack though.

I'll be making the switch from Android to iPhone 7+ this time around. For me it's more about having a device that works 100% of the time without slow downs, glitches, promised but never delivered updates, etc. The headphone jack is a non issue to me because I have never found myself charging and listening to music at the same time.

You posted something I agree with and can't ridicule. We are an Apple shop and I wouldn't move to any platform. I like devices that actually work.

I like my iphone but for PC OS ... I like Windows. It's just easy to use and customize. Tons of third party support and programs to do just about everything.
Not to mention the best part about Windows PC - video games!

Well that may be so and I would drive 20min to other Apple stores I would never bother with the Boston one, but still better than mailing your "insured" android phone in for a big deductible and 2 week turnaround to get it back
