The Apple products are so technologically inferior. What is the attraction? I remember the fervor over the Sony Betamax and there was reason for it. It was far superior in quality, it did more and was way better. Is it just a fashion thing? Is that it?

Oh? The processors in the Apple iOS devices is up to two times faster than anything in an Android device and they are far more secure and offer more privacy, not to mention far less malware. The screens are far more photographically accurate as displays in color rendering and they are all these days far more acute than the human eye can see as far as sharpness. Apps are usually superior on iOS and less ad ridden. So what is there in quality you see that is lacking? Apple devices have a greater resale value than any Android device when you want to trade them in. No, it isn’t a fashion thing.

Believe as you wish. In a side-by-side comparison on functionality, the Android is light years ahead.

When I sit next to someone with my older Samsung phone and they see my screen resolution, they say is that the new Apple phone? Nope, just my 3 year old Android.

When I use the voice command to send a detailed voice generated email that was created speaking at conversational pace and then it is sent flawlessly, and I ask then if their new Apple phone does that? Their chin drops, mouth hung open and then they mutter, “Wow, that is amazing. No, my phone won’t do that.”

There is nothing your Apple phone does better other than being more simple. I will give you that. It is nice and simple.

Oh, and I acknowledged your point about resale being better in my earlier post saying I am amazed why people pay so much more for a phone that does so much less.

I get you. You are a devotee. No need to explain yourself. You are a believer. And not I won’t say as other do that you are part of a blind user cult. That would be going too far.

A12x RISC based processor is comparable to Intel I7 quad core with hyper-threading.
