[citation][nom]jiangyi[/nom]Now I wonder if the Nexus Prime will top that... Probably not, because most people go all "Oooh! Shiny!" over Apple, but still, an Android guy can dream, can't he?[/citation]
Why does it have to be 'ooooh! Shiny' for someone to buy an Apple product, but of course all the 'Nexus Prime' customers buy for the 'correct reasons'?
The iPhone 4S, objectively, has a massive amount going for it. Can they not buy it in order to have the fastest CPU/GPU combination of any phone right now? Or integrated iCloud? Or smaller size in volume than most Android phones (eg SG2 and probably Prime)? Or could they buy after having customer reviews that make the iPhone 4 the phone with the best customer feedback? Or maybe they want it because it has a higher screen DPI than any Android phone? Or maybe they want access to the largest app library in the world?
There are advantages and disadvantages of both Apple and Android phones, I've clearly just highlighted the advantages here, and I do admit there are advantages on the other side too. The point I'm making, however, is that it's very ignorant to assume that people are buying the phone because it's 'shiny' - when actually all the reasons I gave, on their own, would be enough to justify the purchase for logical reasons. The vast majority of tech-savvy people I know recognise those qualities, and don't have an irrational dislike for Apple. I am within that group, I didn't care if the phone I bought was Apple, Android, whatever. I read all of the reviews, all of the specifications, looked at and tried all the phones, and the iPhone 4 (at the time) was the best available. When I buy again, I'll do the same again, but right now I can't see a better proposition than the iPhone 4S. It's very important for Android that Nexus Prime changes that.
