You're right to some extent, but I wouldn't say "basically nobody", or the S3, Nexus etc. would be dead by now instead of selling tens of millions.
Taking an extremely wild guess based on personal interactions, I would say 40% don't care, 20% care, and the other 40% ask the pople who care about their opinion.
>So, is it worth the 800$ upgrade no, is it worth the 200$ upgrade on a 2 year old phone with some scratches and diminished battery life? probably, and that's what apple is going for.
The only issue is that the iPhone 5 design is pretty similar to the iPhone 4, except longer. So looks wise, it's like getting a new iPhone 4 or 4S that you see in almost everyone's hands, except taller. That might steer some of those people onto other devices. How many? I don't know, it's not going to be 90% but I think it won't be just 5% either.
- Retric 14y agoI would be surprised if 20% of people with cellphones knew how much RAM their phone has or how fast the CPU was within 50 MHz or 1% of some specific benchmark. Ditto anything specific about their GPU or Battery.
- cooldeal 14y agoKnowing the RAM or CPU is different from the comparisons made at point of purchase. Someone who'll pick the S3 because it is quadcore or more RAM over other phones will not necessarily remember the amount of RAM or the exact CPU speed one year down the line, just that it won in specs at the time of purchase.
