For The First Time Ever, iPhone Owner Loyalty Declines

[Guest]

Not surprised Android has increased market share when they are cheap, plastic made pieces of crap but have some semblance of an operating system which is "good enough" for poor folks.

I blame Zak Islam for the decline.

[citation][nom]house70[/nom]When iOS iterations differ little from one another (other than some gimmicks here and there), no wonder people get tired of it. It's like "y'all visiting the same brothel" mentality.[/citation]
Exactly.. I loved my iPhone 3G and iPhone 4, but Im seriously tired of the UI in iOS.. Im just waiting for Amazon to sell the Note2 for under 200 or the GSIII for under 50 with a contract extension and Im jumping ship..

75% is still really high. Too high, I have to say, for any product. It keeps the producer more in their toes, if they know that if they don't produce good products, they will lose their customers! It would be good for product guality.

The reason the iPhone5 was such an uninspired, incremental rush-job is that Apple wanted to release it just before Microsoft announced Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. They were hoping to swamp the media so that Microsoft would have a smaller reception. That's also why the iPad 4 and iPad mini were released recently.

I agree with some other comments here: Steve Jobs may not have been the nicest person (he liked tactics such as these), but he would never have let a sub-par product out of the gate. Look what it has cost Apple already; and imagine what it will cost Apple in the future.
