No - you didn't clarify so much as try to twist what I said and put words in my mouth.”
So when you said you agreed earlier, you agreed to what? his definitive statement of 90% or now something you invented it be be.
You couldn't make this nonsensical squirming up.

Ok fine you said that, tdenson said that applies to 90% of all phone sales are based on seeking either cheap and cheerful that meets need regardless of OS or specific features such as screen size etc.
So given as he states 90% of all android sales are the former cheap and cheerful with no consideration of OS, what is the feature that convinces more people to in essence choose the iphone over android? What is the feature that makes around 30 million buy an iphone given it cant be OS.
As you say you agree I'm curious, you tried to say earlier that is

So what are they getting in this iphone, not OS, not brand (as you say) so?

For my part, I agree with what he said about people buying something based on a variety of factors, rather than simply OS or brand.”
Where did he say a variety of factors, please show me. He specifically said 90% (non geeks) buy a cheap and cheerful phone.

I'm not finding it painful I am finding it hilarious, that you both say you agree but post different views, comical. But again 90% of all android sales being cheap and cheerful phones is not obvious at all to me, nor is if it were true, the basis of iphones sales. Seems you are having great difficulty clarifying that too
