   Two completely different buyer mindsets.   
      
   First off, you have to understand that people who buy the iPhone are like   
   people who buy a fancy car just because they feel it's fancy to others.   
      
   They have no other reason for buying the phone except by Apple's ads.   
   They don't know anything about the phone - they don't care about the phone.   
      
   They only care about style.   
      
   Nothing wrong with that - but they almost never know anything about it   
   because they bought it because of an advertisement that it was Red or   
   Yellow. If you don't believe me, look at how Apple advertises it.   
      
   Apple makes a big deal of the color of the phone.   
   As if that matters.   
      
   And it does.   
   To most Apple buyers.   
      
   Otherwise Apple wouldn't be able to charge more for a red iPhone.   
      
   That is the typical Apple buyer.   
   People who buy Android are NOT buying anywhere near that way.   
      
   For example, they don't care what colors the phone is, while the color is   
   the most important thing to Apple owners if you look at Apple ads lately.   
      
   > They buy their devices based on price,   
   > recommendations, and what they perceive what is best, from what they have

   > told or read, Most iPhone users are the same.   
      
   Nope. Android owners buy on price performance metrics.   
   Apple owners do not because Apple iPhones can't meet any common performance   
   metric when you compare prices.   
      
   For example, take the fact that the iPhone can't run thousands upon   
   thousands upon thousands upon thousands of apps that Android easily runs.   
      
   The battery sucks on all iPhones.   
   Apple can't even figure out how to integrate the modem, which every other   
   major Android manufacture figured out how to do many years ago already.   
      
   Apple is extremely far behind in the performance curve.   
   And always was.   
      
   There's no performance on an iPhone.   
   Just price.   
      
   Completely different kind of buyers.

   People who buy the iPhone buy it for the color.   
   If not the color of the phone case, then the colors of the bubbles.   
      
   If you don't believe that, then look at Apple's own advertisements.   
   They even charge more for a red phone.   
      
   And they tell you the biggest thing to happen to the iPhone 14 is yellow.   
      
   Nobody on Android buys their phone that way.   
   It's a completely different type of buyer.

   > and I have found most users of technology just want things that work for

   Apple is simply copying what every other operating system has always done.   
   Patch a bug as fast as possible.   
      
   Instead of taking three to six months to build & test a single-slab iOS.   
   This is a good thing, whether or not you iMorons even know how it works.   
      
   What's no longer amazing, actually, is how little you iKooks know of Apple.
