- alanfalcon 15y agoApple users (myself included) can be certain to a high degree of accuracy that when buying a newly released Apple iDevice, it'll be "the best on the market" (the market here being defined as Apple iDevices from the same family) until about a year later. As opposed to the Android world where you know that something better will be coming in a few weeks, and you don't have the shiniest, newest thing. So I'm happy to forego the incremental one-ups from the Android world and know that I have the best device, and that if I want to get the new one next year, that'll be the newest and shiniest for a whole year too.* If you're happy living in an iWorld, you get a clear step function where you know what step you're standing on and about when the next step will come. This doesn't result in slower progress (in my opinion), it's just a different shape than the more smooth sloped progression in the Android world. * And sometimes, as with the iPad/iPad 2, I'm happy with what I have and don't feel compelled to have the latest and greatest.
