(((((((The average smartphone user doesn’t care about the specs of the latest Android smartphone, certainly not enough to abandon an OS they know over waiting four months.
Geeks care about specs, complaining about the lack of a 4G LTE iPhone and a dual core processor, but geeks are the minority. Even then, I’m willing to wager there are plenty of geeks who won’t mind waiting four months either. Especially with the prospect of a faster iPhone 5 with 4G LTE connectivity.
The iPhone isn’t about specs, it’s about a user experience that is difficult for Android to duplicate and compete with thanks to developer support, third-party accessories and partners who develop cool gadgets that work with iPhone first, and focus on Android later.))))))
Actually the average user Does care about specs of the latest anything new.
That is the main reason they are willing to upgrade.
And the part about developing cool gadgets for the iphone first and focusing on
Android later is pretty much backwards. Android is the true open source,
apple is mostly locked down to what apple developers want apple users
to use. Just look at their mostly all proprietary hardware and software.
No replaceable battery, no universal micro USB connector, no micro SD cards
no flash.
I like the flexabilty and (more future proofing) of android, or anything i invest
my money in. Like i have said, the only future proof in electronics is the electricity itself.
