Again, the Problem with apple is to make money by fooling around.
Example :
Why [NORMAL/NON-GEEK/GEEKs/NERDS...exception Big MNC's] people prefers an assembled PC than a Pre-Assembled by HP, DELL or IBM ??
Dell, HP's & IBM's also does the same thing like Apple, building Hardware to suit end customers need. Still why do you prefer assembled ones ??
Why do gamers prefers an Custom assembled 100k rig over a 100k alienware ??
Ask yourself.
But somebody has to assemble it for you. Right ?? Are they gonna do it to you for free ?? Nope , they will also charge but maybe lower than Alienware.
The benefit with a factory made/branded is that you get complete support for your PC. Unlike a self-put together assembled PC , where you have to talk to vendors individually for any problems or RMA.
The difference is there in customer support.
If the RAM isn't working right then the Vendor can say that your board is problematic , or things like that. There will always be ambiguities with that. Don't you see so many people in forums who try to assemble their rigs themselves or from some average level guy complaining of issues.( no offence meant to the'm )
While there is no doubt that companies try to take every ounce of money from consumers but they provide service to people who usually don't have a problem in paying that hefty sum but all they want is the best they can get without any effort or worries.
^donno about 10k, but refurbed phones were avlbl fir 14k and old ones for 20k...
happens in ios as well
No , I meant if My Device is more than capable of running an updated version of Android (flagship device an year ago) , why the F**k the device manufacturer abandons giving update to it , specially when promised.I have seen this very well in Droids out there. This is a marketing strategy to keep new droids flowing in market .
While this may have been the case with Iphones , but those phones don't get obsolete at such tremendous speed.
The point @Rishi. is trying to make is that Apple products are very good out of the box and target people who do not really have the time to read this forum or websites or XDA. They want the phone to be a smartphone and work flawlessly. Apple does win here.
Yeah , pretty much the same. Plus the fact that these people don't worry about money that much. I mean they really don't care about paying 5k more over a phone which is better for them.
The thing is, Apple is not releasing Budget Friendly Mobile priced in defferent segements like 10k, 20k or 30k with iOS7. But Andriod does.
Agree without any doubt. But that phone will not be same as you are expecting it to be. It'll have flaws and problems due to cheaper cost involved.
Same things happens in Android too. Take time and think about the companies like MicroMax , Lava , and then compare it with Sony , LG and Samsung(particularly).
In concise , all I have to say is that While I also feel bad about Apple's marketing strategy and pricing thing , but TBH , IPhone/IOs is definitely is a product of true engineering and is more stable and durable than majority of expensive droids out there.
While people continue to mock it , for some reasons .
Since you are using the S3 I have one question only.
Can you note down a number during a call and once your call is finished does that number exist anywhere?
trolled, uhahaha
How do you share data in IOS?
Yes, Apple Ecosystem is restriced. Android is not. This is android's advantage. However, this makes IOS safer and less prone to malware. Similar to stores, I can submit any app to Play store , it just checks for Malware. Apple ensure quality.
So this evens out.
Absolutely . There are lots of such crap apps on Google PlayStore. I think there was a recent case where Indian govt. wanted to ban something there due to adult contents or something(pardon my memory).
Also there was a recent case of some harmful app. that found it's way to google play store.
While staying open is good , but it has it's bad days too. And not everyone can live with that.
