Does it really matter?
I mean come on with all this. I stick with iPhones because as a whole, they're better to use than Android phones. I don't need some gimmick that a room of engineers came up with a week before production began. Apple products work seamlessly with what I use the most. Namely iTunes, Macbook ect.
And if I'm correct with my memory, don't iPhones usually rank near the top in performance of current competitor phones, despite having less CPU power and available RAM? Wouldn't that mean that the software is optimized and that you can get more done with less capable hardware?
What it boils down to is taste. Until iPhones and iPads stop fitting my needs, I'm going to continue to buy Apple products for all the reasons I've listed
