Where were you when iOS was BTFO?
>>53357510
shitdroid is popular only because it's free
>>53357548
how much does ios cost, and who pays for it?
>>53357548
it's still popular
>>53357510
I went from iOS to Android (5c to G4)
I fucking regret it.
The fucking apps function like shit, and the lack of imessage makes me want to vomit.
Other than that the G4 is awesome.
Probably going back to iPhone in November.
Jailbroken iPhone > Android
All day err'day. And I'm usually the person rooting for the underdog.
Sorry I don't follow Apple, but do the peaks in the graph coincide with new iPhone releases? If so, it's interesting that Android peaks at those times as well.
>>53357878
>Android
>underdog
>>53357936
Oops, think I interpreted it wrong. Looks like Android adoption rate stalls slightly after iOS peaks but continues to rise anyway.
>>53357510
Come the fuck on you fag the last thing i want to see right now on my already dying /g/ is a flamewar between ifags and android guys
For fucks sake simmer down
It's not about market share, it's about profit. No one gives a shit if Samshit is losing $10 on every sale for some poo in the loo cheap shit. Apple has like 105% of the profits from the smartphone industry.

This guy gets it.

>>53357878
you're a disgrace to the Android community. go back to your i-device, you fucking pleb
Oh please, just because a bunch of Pajeets are buying $100 LAGdroids doesn't mean it's a good system. Face it, LAGdroid is for poorfags and autists - real men use an Apple iPhone.
Apple - the neurotypicals' choice.

You get less features m8

>lack of iMessage
What is the problem here exactly? Your phone should come with a texting service
>>53357878
>lack of imessage makes me want to vomit.
Nigger what the hell do you expect, it's Apple's messaging service, you think they're going to port it to Android? Just find an alternate messaging client you insufferable cunt
>>53357548
It's not free
>>53358032
Apple profits because they overprice everything.
Android market share has already overtaken iPhone.
Soon iPhones will be relegated to niche devices, like Mac OS, that are only used by gays and other weirdos.
>>53358097
>>53357940
Yeah it's funny, Android used to be the underdog, but they overtook Apple in the last couple of years and they just keep gaining more and more market share.
RIP iPhone, you had your day, but it's all ogre now
>>53357510
Not everyone gets to be in the elite class. The exclusivity is what makes iOS so great.
>>53358858
Owning something doesn't make you rich
And a 700$ phone? God no, every bum on the street has at least that much saved up
>comparing an operating system being run on hundreds of different devices from multiple manufacturers and price points to a single phone from a single manufacturer in a single price point(high end)

How young and stupid do you have to be to think iOS and OSX are for free? Of course they are not but their price is woven into Apple's products and cross financed by this.
You do pay for iOS/OSX/iCloud, it's just not directly printed on the bill...

FTFY
Remember: If Apple has the larger marketshare in [category x], that PROVES Apple is better!
...and if Apple has a smaller marketshare in [category y], then it is because most people cannot afford it, and that ALSO proves that Apple is better!
One thing apple has going for them is they do updates on older devices. Only a few flagship android phones receive any updates past their release. I have both a Nexus 6 (One of the few android phones that receives timely updates) and an iPhone 4S.
>>53359581
When the fuck has anyone claimed that they had a large market share in anything?
>>53357548
And that changes the statistics how?
>>53359614
When Apple had a tablet majority, and when Apple had more applications in the AppStore.
That larger marketshare doesn't mean anything when the app store and play store models make it impossible for the vast majority of developers to make a profit.
Combined with the fact that iOS users are more likely to pay - and more money at that - and iOS is the more reliable platform to develop for.
>>53359652
Don't forget that the tools available for iOS development are vastly superior to the ones for Android.
>>53358601
>>53358665
This is actually something I've never understood about Apple users, why is iMessage so important to them? Isn't the point of texting that it's low-priority communication that can take a little longer than immediate? Why do you need it to be internet-instant, when texting already only takes like 30 seconds tops? What exactly is the fucking benefit?
The only thing iMessage really DOES that stands out is completely fuck you over when someone you've iMessage'd transitions to Android.

>>53359725
Instagram used to be the application that Applefans cited as the reason to use iOS. Once Instagram was available on Android, it immediately became unimportant to Applefans. Proves that some people do not care about the quality of the item, just the exclusivity.
>>53359751
Beautifully put in words
This
If everyone bough apple devices tomorrow, these iFags would abandon apple just like mice escaping a sinking ship
>>53359788
Same with PC Ketchup Rice faggots. If everyone gave up on consoles, they would throw a riot. It's already beginning with the rising popularity of Steam.
You will understand iMessage once you reach working age and get some real friends.
>>53359804
You're retarded m8
>>53359804
Eh? We WELCOME other people who want to try PC gaming.
>>53359821
Isn't just a messaging app? What's so special about it that other apps can't do?
>>53359935
Unlike several hundred other messaging apps that let you send messages for free, this app lets you send messages... FOR FREE! Also it is installed by default.
More people poo in the street in india than poo in toilets in the US.

>the company I buy from makes more profit
This is an actual argument lol
>>53357548
this desu
>using something because its more popular
>not using something because its better
Enjoy your software updates androidfags
Oh wait
Anyway, in my social circle iOS usage is above 50% so who cares what poorfags are using.

how exactly is this a factor?
>inb4 stop being selfish fuck and take a look at bigger picture
I get that "voting with your wallet" is a thing, where you give money to some jews as sign of support and expectation that they will keep making products you like
however, when you have a company that puts 500% profit margin on their products, I don't think that is much of a voting with your wallet there, it's more of a "getting milked the fuck out"
>>53360006

It's free as in beer, OEMs don't pay Google to use it. Not as in freedom as Google makes money by selling some of your data.
>>53360170
Only if you have play services on it
>>53359742
I can change the color of my texts, what's your point.
Yet apple is practically the only company that makes money selling phones.
>>53360158
>lol capitalism
it is just stupidity, nothing more
>>53360187
which 99.99% of android users do because the system is designed to make it more trouble than its worth to get rid of them
>>53360226
what?
>>53360244
True, i have to admit that this includes me
>>53360273
>>53360288
??
They are the only ones that make money from selling phones.
I'm not being pro apple here, its just a fact. They arent going anywhere just because market share is small.
>>53360336
I agree that short-term they are here to stay
but thing is that market share of iPhone isn't small, it's *shrinking*
and if they want to keep making insane jew profits, they will have to put higher and higher profit margins on iPhone over time
which will make people either switch to Android or even amplify their Stocholm syndrome, so that they will be even more proud for paying even more for their pocket Facebook+Instagram machine
>>53360375
Never going to happen. iPhones will always have a decent marketshare simply because everyone wants them. They are a culture at this point.
>>53360375
They aren't shrinking, the market is growing, less % of the market doesn't mean less profit. Especially since the new $5 poo in loo phones will boost android's market share even more.
>>53357510
shitskins pull the statistics up by a lot
also top kek at those brand loyalty applecucks buying phones when they get released
>>53357548
the one in a million autist that installs android on something it wasn't sold with it has essentially no impact on these stats
>>53358685
Pretty sure that isn't how pricing theory works.
Try again, please.
>>53359804
Other way around. Console fags are crying over muh Quantum Break coming to PC.
