> It's because Apple uses a lock-in strategy, where once on an Apple platform it is painful to get off. Most of the smart Apple iPhone users I know actually use Google apps and Google's infrastructure and other third-party tools on their iPhones, so if they want to move to an Android phone they can move almost seamlessly.
...what? Sentence 1, "once on Apple it's painful to get off." The very next sentence, the author says that most iPhone people he knows could move to Android almost seamlessly. That doesn't sound like it's that painful to get off.
Look, if you're going to contradict yourself, fine, just... put a few sentences in between first.
I'm glad others found this post so weird, happened to follow some links and found it, felt like I really fell into the rabbithole. I thought it was translated from some other language but I'm not a native English speaker myself so.
Is interesting how "Apple uses a lock-in strategy" because is up-front about using a single App Store and not allow (easily) pirate apps and simple ways to put shady apps(even from manufacturers) to users.
But Google what? Is even more lock-in! I'm on Apple from years and I still locked to google in ways I can't undo (without heavy complications) yet get rid of Apple is as easy as buy a windows or linux machine (or android), that will only tied my to google!
