I'll see what stats we can get, these come from IB Admin since we don't have direct access.

What do your numbers represent? 2475 whats? Page views, visits? Over what period?

For our week sampled iOS visits were 30k vs Android 10k.

Ok, but I'm sure with your vast knowledge of Apple devices that you don't use these services. Also as you've stated many times you've never had one fail on you and have devices many years old that work fine without issue, however, either way if hardware breaks you still have to pay for a repair at Apple's extortionate prices or for Apple care. Like I've said you've paid a subsidy that is of no immediate benefit to you and only for numpty fanbois who don't know how to operate a computer or phone.

Android phones are cheap.
That's why more people have them than the more expensive iPhones.

That's also why primark sell more tshirts than Calvin Klein, in your local high street.



Can I have my rocket science diploma now please???

Anyone can repair an Apple product. Take a look at ifixit.com. Again a way better resource than any other manufacturer. No immediate benefit? I'd say having a machine in heavy daily use for 7 years, with no issues hardware or software is a massive benefit. I've encouraged nearly all of my family to move to Apple products, I was fed up with support calls.

jonc has won that round as you always resort to petty insults or an immature jibe when you know you are wrong, or can't answer with a reasonable argument.

That just proves that only an idiot understands and idiot. Explain in terms that people can understand how Jon has won anything? He thinks Apple products are over priced and for morons, I gave good reasons why that's incorrect, he said told you so! Idiots.

Help us out Tidgy or anyone, what argument did Jon win? Just state the subject and Jon's winning response. Should be simple.

You're paying a premium for something that (apparently) never goes wrong or if it does you can fix yourself.

Shareholders be happy anyway

So you think paying a higher price for something that doesn't go wrong is a bad thing? Priceless.

Might be worth noting that the excellent support provided by Apple was not the only reason I stated for the premium price.

I never said Apple products never go wrong, I said I have a 7 year old machine that has never gone wrong, try to stick to facts. The support provided by Apple encompasses more than things going wrong, fact.

And have a look up, I haven't lost any argument.

It is nothing to do with costs, it is about building a platform, which has been spectacular. Apple ,Microsoft aren't troubled financially yet, but are astute enough to be very concerned about the future of their businesses, hence the endless litigation to shackle Google's Android platform. Google are integrating all aspects, apps, social, browsing. The future is bright with Google

I'm sure the future is bright with Google, I hope so anyhow, as a Google Apps reseller they help pay my bills. But unfortunately Google are more litigious than MS and Apple, so once again you're wrong.

Please provide details of litigation actually started by Google in the last, say 3 years compared to Apple, Microsoft(Nokia) and Oracle

Rather than spend too much time doing your research I did a quick Google search, data is old but things haven't changed that much.

You've obviously not read the comments from the author below the article, to quote writer:
