Android user here.
First of all:
"They are a great Christmas present to an iPhone user!"
No. Seriously?
A loyal iPhone user would resent you for being preachy.
And if your target just happens to use an iPhone by default without true brand loyalty, then they're quite likely to be tech unsavvy. So the reality of that present isn't "Hey, I got you a shiny new gadget that is better than the one you have now". It's "Hey, I got you dozens and dozens of hours of research, effort, and learning curve into something you didn't ask for for marginal benefit I'm not even certain you will receive"
P.S. "Like the people who moved from PCs to Macs and never switched back, you will switch from iPhone to Android and never switch back"
The irony is delicious. I like PCs and Macs for different reasons just as I like Android and iOS for different reasons. But the reasons why I tend to use PCs and Android are the same. So I can't help but think that if there was no conflict of interest, Eric Schmidt would be an iPhone user 100% of the awy
