Is it really that surprising? Android is becoming just as locked down as Apple, but the ones doing the locking down (samsung) are nowhere near as good at software and attention-to-detail as Apple. That coupled with android phones having unacceptably sparse security updates (6 months/1 year between security updates? Really?), and higher costs (Apple phones over 7+ years are much cheaper than equivalent samsung over 3 years or less). If I accept that "my" phone is not something I can't control or fix, why wouldn't I buy the cheaper, better-designed phone with better security? Did they really thing that people wouldn't notice? Google and samsung decided to give up the only competitive they had (openness, standards) by pretending to be Apple. Now they'll have to compete with Apple on everything else (they can't).
