   I think there's something, possibly advertising or the convenient Apple   
   stores that drives some sales more than a rational choice. My ex has an   
   iPhone but I never questioned why.   
      
   For her an obvious down side it she uses an insulin pump and blood sugar   
   monitoring system. The app is only available for Android phones so she   
   needs a separate device. That may be something like our Apple project; the   
   Apple Store is such a pain in the ass it isn't worth it.
