I keep reading all these articles comparing Apple to Android and Windows Phone, and why the other platforms will eventually overtake Apple. I don't think that is going to happen, unless Apple itself screws up badly.
Why would you buy products from companies who always say the next iteration would be better, and whose products get obsolete in a few months time? - isn't that what is happening with Android today, and with Microsoft and Windows?
Why buy something like that, when Apple always delivers the best they can in a few product lines. You never regret buying a Mac or iPhone or iPad. You do regret when you buy a PC or Android phone.
Can you hear me - all those people who got the Droid X last year? - anyone hear about that anymore?. I still have and love my iPhone 4. It is the perfect phone. The hardware updates in iPhone 4S, I can wait till iPhone 5.
Many people say that Apple lost to Microsoft because MS licensed windows to other companies who priced it below the Macs. This is actually not true.
Apple lost the last time, because they stood still fighting within themselves, refusing to partner with others, and not innovating. They stood still, while others were able to improve their crappy operating systems over time. And they still don't have good developer tools like Visual Studio for the Mac.
Microsoft is just a good developer company who wrote a crappy OS because nobody else would do it properly. They had to be able to run these PC programs on some operating system right?
Microsoft may have won, but even Windows 7 or Windows 8 is not anywhere as good as any of the Apple operating systems. So, I don't think they ever "caught up". I can't say they caught up when my first model mac book air can handle multiple email accounts better than a 2011 Core i5 Windows laptop with 8GB RAM.
I can't say MS caught up when their crappy OS runs the hardware so bad, the disk wears down in a fraction of the time, while my macbook hard disk remains fine, without losing my data for years.
We are in 2012 people.
They could not even get the laptop sleep and wake to work properly, or stop the trackpad to behave weirdly, or VPN to crash after coming out of sleep, or make Outlook faster...
Every version of Android, I just go check the email client, keyboard and the browser, get disgusted and walk away. I have tried every Android device from phone to tablet, got frustrated and walked off.
