Message: <blockquote data-quote="chas_m" data-source="post: 1608688">I agree, though of course all major platforms try to "lock you in" to their platform and eco-system so that it is difficult to switch platforms. I have zero interest in changing to an Android phone for various reasons I've pointed out in other threads, so what Apple gives me when my contract is up is what I'll take (or keep my old phone for a while longer). Luckily, they generally make stuff better with each iteration, teething issues aside. Those who are "locked" into the Android platform (willingly or unwillingly) likely feel the same way.Depending on the person's needs, budget and other factors, I'm happy to recommend a non-Apple smartphone if that's genuinely what's best for their particular needs. Competition is good, and none of us should want to live in a world where Company X's options are the only options.</blockquote>
