I just have to say however that I have tried alternatives and run several flavors of Windows in Parallels which I need for testing and support purposes. Just as I failed to be specific enough regarding my belief that Apple's marketing has been brilliant (I didn't state a time period... I think ti has been brilliant through the iPhone era but I have no opinion preceding that), I should have also clarified that I'm referring to iPhone users in particular relative to their disinterest in trying alternatives, especially over the past year or two. I doubt many shifting from an iPhone to a Windows Phone would find better value, but a good Android 4.2+ phone would be different. The few iPhone users I've met who have tried Android phones did so 2+ years ago when the OS was in it's infancy and had many downsides that are now gone. I've also tried several different Smartphone Models and OS's but still buy Apple after waiting 5 years for the iPhone to be available from my Provider. What's the last Android version and smartphone make/model you used for any extensive period? Still find the lack of Malware and integration between all my tools the only way to go That's the same way I feel about my Moto X... another thing we have in common! Happy Fathers Day, btw.
