- amelius 3y agoThat could be. In the end 90% still buys Apple. HN people generally think of themselves as smart folks but frankly when it comes to voting (with their feet) they behave pretty much like average people.

- als0 3y agoTo be fair, as I've learnt, the iPhone has more than 50% market share in the USA. Which is relevant given that this is a discussion about HNers, who I assume most of which live there.
- acdha 3y ago> HN people generally think of themselves as smart folks but frankly when it comes to voting (with their feet) they behave pretty much like average people I can’t help but notice that you’re detailing the thread with some counterfactual trolling. Maybe stop congratulating yourself for being so much smarter than everyone else and think about how you could state a coherent thesis and support it with data?
