I am an Apple user. I migrated from Windows the the Mac in the late 90s, and the shift to OS X only cemented my relationship with the platform. Having a unixy (well, BSD-y) system with MS Office on it is a powerful combo for my line of work, and so I am still here. I disdained the iPhone at first, but ended up getting won over pretty quickly. At introduction, it was just better than anything else, and the smooth connectivity between my Mac and my phone was really appealing. As the platform has grown, I've stayed with it; I've never really used Android for a long period of time except for a brief dalliance with a tablet a few years ago. I'm not here to argue about which is better. I know which works better for ME, and is more appealing to ME. I say all this to establish my position. Silly people describe people like me as "fanboys," as though it's not possible to make a rational decision to use this ecosystem. Whatever. HERE'S MY POINT: I do not welcome news of Android market share loss. I do not want Apple to become the kind of dominant player in mobile that Microsoft was on the desktop 25 years ago. That kind of platform control inevitably becomes toxic, IMO. MSFT absolutely sought to exploit that position from the getgo; Apple doesn't seem to have the same kind of insane ALL PIE FOR ME motivation, but supermajority market share is a hell of a drug. So while I have no interest in USING an Android phone or table, I very very much Android to right its ship and maintain their position as a peer or near-peer to iOS. Credible competition is good for the market, and thus good for my preferred platform.
