"....when the only impact it could have is when you talk of market share of app developers. Apple has that share covered."
--------------------------------------

Are there any compelling apps that are iPhone specific that is not replicated or available on Androids, Xiaomi, Samsung, which would compel users to buy an iPhone over the others? They had it with iTunes in the beginning, but with music streaming apps, Google Play...not sure if this is still an ecosystem stronghold.

Quality...debatable? ever since Jobs left us, it's been having some struggles...bad patches, battery life, phone randomly dies (did not give me comfort when Apple care told my friend "Oh yeah that happened to me before.")

Pushing the agenda in China/India is not a bad idea, just not a great one for momentum growth. Plus they've been there for awhile...But I'll give this for them, they have enough cash that they can always play the buyback game.
