Cell phones are commodities, so how does Apple maintain that cash flow? It's almost like there is more to it than that...

  Cell phones arent wheat. It is a pain to switch between OS's.

  Cell phones may be commodities, but iPhones are not.

    Yeah, as an android user myself I switch brands all the time, but the iPhone users in my life all bought iPhones 15ish years ago and have kept doing it ever since.

      The good thing of the iPhone is that your next phone is just like the previous one, but faster. Some features are added, some change places and some are even removed or replaced, but it doesn't compare to, say, move from a Motorola to a Samsung - they might as well be different OSs. Last time I had to relearn how to use the camera (and I AM AN EXPERIENCED PHOTOGRAPHER!).

        I’ve had a few iPhones. Own 2 right now and I completely agree with your sentiment but while the hardware gets faster the software gets slower and worse. ;)

          Wirth's law: software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster :)
