I did not say Apple will disappear from the market. I said it'll turn out like Macs. They're everywhere, but 90% of computers are still Windows-based. Android is a force to be reckoned with.

I was an iOS user ever since the 3GS was launched in Malaysia. Was amazed by the simplicity and fluidity of the OS. So I switched from Windows to Mac after my Dell laptop broke down (was a piece of krap really). I have Bootcamp for the engineering software, but I still prefer Mac OS lol. Used an Android for a while when my phone was decommissioned. There were a plethora of options, customisations and settings to be configured. But I still prefer the simplicity of iOS. Switch on and go. Still, I believe Android OS will be as ubiquitous as Windows cause of the prices and wide availability of phones.

That's the problem, price is quite exorbitant. Even with an easy-to-use interface, they should price their products competitively (like iPad), but iPhones and MacBooks are still quite pricey. When people are looking to buy a new laptop, their budget is around 3k-4k, not 5k-7k lol. But then again, it's still up to personal preference. I don't mind adding a thousand to my budget to get something that I like.

Holy hell lol, that's expensive. I got this IBM laptop for 5k. Died a year later, after warranty was over. They told me I need to pay 3k for the mobo replacement. Went to Toshiba, then Dell, then Mac lol.

I thought IBM was good, until it died a year after I use, right after the warranty was over. Sad. But the Toshiba is still working now, even after 8 years, I think. Or maybe 9 lol. I think it depends on luck whether you get a good unit or a bad one lol.
True, that's why I'm willing to pay a premium buying an iPhone. They don't plummet in value like other products.

Lol, I won't pay resellers and I can wait. Good combination I have lol. iOS has reached its pinnacle. I think it needs a radical transformation now, like from Mac OS Classic to OS X.

Jellybean fixed a lot on the sluggish interface issues. It makes older Androids less sluggish too.
