For people on Hacker News, sure. But try asking your grandma what the flagship Android phone is and what the flagship Apple phone is. It is much more confusing

For people on Hacker News, sure. But try asking your grandma what the flagship Android phone is and what the flagship Apple phone is. It is much more confusing for the average person than you'd think.
> I don't really see why it matters if your mom thinks she has a "Samsung" or an "LG".
Because when people ask if she has an Android she says "No."
> There's more to Android phones than the base OS.
I know, that's my complaint. It really adds nothing for the customer to have it be so fragmented.
