Is it me or does it now seem like goodman, matilda and chester are the same person???

It's you. And your extremism and narrow-mindedness reminds me TGM.

Apples products sell at the price they do because apple control the price

Apple's products sell at the price they do only because Apple fans pay this price.

And no, personally I will never buy iPhone, at least not in foreseeable future. And not because I cannot afford it.

Does anyone in this thread honestly think that it would make a jot of difference if iOS had a slightly steeper learning curve than Win Mo or Android, or Symbian, or BB's os?

The iphone and many other Apple product have the image because of easy to use, well design,easy to use functions and controlled updates. All current products can be updated on the day of release. Apple may not always be first but focus on good user experience.

If iOS was fragmented, buggy updates (no need to send a link showing odd bug, this happento all os), no control over apps, poorly implemented functions and app store, basic design etc and still have the image?
I don’t think so.
The Apple have the image because of good user experience, not good user experience because of image.

Its not about that at all. Apple have good advertising, dumb people believe it.

what is it they say about an idiot and his money?? I forget, something about parted easily??

Are you saying all Apple users are dumb (lacking intelligence or good judgment; stupid)?

In your other post you have said people who have been tricked into Android malware are idiots for not checking rights.

Are you saying people who do not agree with you are either dumb or idiot?

I think you're paranoid! And I think you need to stop reacting so childishly to people who disagree with you; You're giving Android fanatics a bad name!

I would say that the proportion of such users is much bigger among [STRIKE]Apple [/STRIKE]iPhone users.

Of course that's pure speculation with no actual evidence to back it up.

I'd hazard a guess that there's a bigger proportion of "dumb" Android users who were previously feature phone users and have since bought low end/cheap Android devices.

Of course there's no evidence of that either, but I'd say it sounds more likely than your supposition.

Of course if there were evidence I would have said this differently.

I have to say that I meant iPhone, not Apple. Corrected now.

You have proven the point by making the statement:

"And no, personally I will never buy iPhone, at least not in foreseeable future. And not because I cannot afford it."

So are you never going to buy iPhone or are you not going to buy one in foreseeable future. It seem your brain and heart are saying two different things.
This is known issue for many Android users.

Well, the situation can change. If it will I can reconsider. If it remains the same I will not buy. There are no signs that it can change, so I will not buy in the foreseeable future.
I said 'never' and clarified that I meant foreseeable future in the very same sentense. If you see some 'issue' here, you really ran out of arguments.

Unlike you and 23n1th I have not called any user dumb or idiots.
You and 23n1th many know everything about Androd malware others may not or some like iPhone. This do not mean all others are dumb or idiots. I have tried to make them aware of the problem, not started calling them names.
Look up and you will see many people who are successful then both of you put together.

No need to call names.
