Especially - and this is particularly amusing...

... especially if that group consists of those individuals1 asking the question "wait.... if Apple says Samsung is the same, why did I pay so much for Apple?" and they find out from their own personal experience Samsung really does work as nicely and as well for them2 as Apple.


1: Obviously they won't consist of solely those people, there will be a wide range of "categories" that fall into the total group.

2: The caveat of course is that not everyone uses devices equally. Some use much more functionality out of devices then others. Generally - in my humble opinion - the less functionality one makes use of the "more improved" the user experience is for that device as the person is less exposed to a much wider array of the functionality of the device.

To put in context: someone who only ever uses their Microsoft computer for email is not going to run into the same wide array of issues compared with someone who uses email + web browsing and neither of those will match the array of issue for someone who requires email + web browsing + MS Office Suite + accounting + etc.

The same holds true no matter what category of device. Smartphones are no exception. For those people that only use their iPhone to make calls.... the only difference they will likely see between the iPhone and any other phone is the price.... assuming they didn't run into the "death grip" issue.

Yes, I hated Apple before hating Apple was cool (they have forgotten more about
anticompetitive evil practices than MS will ever learn). However, since I
haven't started loving Apple now that hating Apple is cool, maybe hipsterhood
isn't here, after all.

Regards,
mc
