I work in the tech sector. Many of my colleagues jumped on the iPhone initially because it was so new and different. The vast majority now have gone to Android phones. Most, myself included, don’t like Apple having such a strong hand in content for the iPhone. Open is better.

Apple getting booted out of the German is likely to start a downward spiral for them in the rest of Europe over time.

It's also a horribly fragmented market with a multitude of devices, many often not upgradeable to current releases of Android.

It's a mess and makes it very hard to shop.
