Way to go with anecdata to try and disentangle your feelings from reality. Come back when you have cold hard facts. With 27% of the market, they make twice as much money on their app store.

Making money does not equate to popularity. It only means their users are suckers for overpaying. $1000 for a monitor stand? $700 for 4 tiny wheels? Yet people pay these absurd prices for their niche over-hyped and over-priced hardware. "A fool and their money are soon parted."

Then how do you square that Apple has a billion worldwide users? They're all fools? Everybody who bought an iPhone is an idiot? There's no way an 900$ iPhone is a good purchase when the equivalent device that Samsung advertises as a competitor is over a thousand bucks?

You lost my interest when you suggested that iPhone was the platform to target because those users have all the money to spend. This pointless internet interaction is over.
