Well, he's not entirely wrong.

However, he's ignoring the horseshit Apple users have to deal with, like actually using an iPhone.

He deadpanned: "Many of these customers were switchers from Android. They had bought an Android phone, by mistake, and then sought a better experience. And a better life. And decided to check out iPhone and iOS."


That qualifies as a "rip?" I thought he would have actual information.

About 98% of Apple users are on iOS 7, according to the most recent Apple release. Yet only 9% of Android users are on KitKat, the most recent Android system. "Some are on [Android] from four years ago — that's like ancient history!" Cook said.

This annoys me. It's why I went with a Nexus though.

I don't see how not being on the newest iteration of the OS means anything. Lots of people were on XP, that didn't make Vista users better or smarter.

Peeps are using an OS that is giving them what they want. People who are obsessed about having the latest and greatest for the sake of just having it are just that.

Cellular OSes are evolving much more quickly than Windows did.

It's like 50% of Androids are stuck on Windows 3.1, with 10% running Windows 7

I thought I had posted an article a while back that was all about how corporate America was avoiding the Droid because of their open architecture OS, and the vulnerabilities that come with it.
