and yet people will still buy them.
Brand name obsession is one hell of a drug.
I mean, yeah. I use Android because I hate Apple's walled garden and smug attitude, but when I was shopping for a phone recently it kinda became clear how Apple has gotten their market share in North America.
Android manufacturers simply refuse to use sensible naming schemes and many of the best Android phones aren't available in the US at all. Not to mention a constant push to follow Apple up whatever blind alley they happen to be going in at the time. I'm still salty about headphones jacks.
Apple fanboys are the definition of sheep
The problem is that they have the money, we have just mouths
You can have money and still respect price-value ratios.
It's ok, they're helping me power my index fund. xD
