Way to go with anecdata to try and disentangle your feelings from reality. Come back when you have cold hard facts. With 27% of the market, they make twice as much money on their app store.

Making money does not equate to popularity. It only means their users are suckers for overpaying. $1000 for a monitor stand? $700 for 4 tiny wheels? Yet people pay these absurd prices for their niche over-hyped and over-priced hardware. "A fool and their money are soon parted."

  • Then how do you square that Apple has a billion worldwide users? They're all fools? Everybody who bought an iPhone is an idiot? There's no way an 900$ iPhone is a good purchase when the equivalent device that Samsung advertises as a competitor is over a thousand bucks?

    • You lost my interest when you suggested that iPhone was the platform to target because those users have all the money to spend. This pointless internet interaction is over.
