iPhones have a high trade in value, and people trading in Samsung for another Android, doesn't mean Apple should be going up. You said people are leaving Samsung to go to another Android. But that doesn't explain Android losing marketshare to iOS.
It means more people are buying into iOS and less are staying active on Android. |
People trading Samsung phones for other Android phones CAN indeed mean the marketshare declines because people still buy tons and tons of iPhones.
And I'm not assuming only the kids are getting them, I mean there are lines to get iPhones when they get released and they sell like 10 million in their first weeks in the market.
If the Android market stagnates (I think that's the word) and if iOS grows, that means, as the number of active phones increase, that Android will lose marketshare. The marketshare is not based on sold phones, is based on active phones, at least that's where I'm going at.
It's simple and CLEAR as water. You're just not seeing it AT ALL.
And I had two Samsungs that are still active and an Acer phone, but now I have an amazing Huawei P8 Lite that my boyfriend (who has a i5c) loves as well.
But yeah, smart people who didn't know of Samsung policies until they got a Samsung phone should be smarter and get better Android phones, not iPhones. Huawei, Xiaomi, BQ, Motorola and Lenovo are going strong at this point.
If people actually trade from a crap Samsung and when they go for an Apple flagship they say, OMG I DON'T KNOW HOW I EVER LIVED WITHOUT AN IPHONE, then my friend, THEY ARE DUMB and don't love technology at all.
