Maybe when ICS is on more devices things will change as manufacturers ditch their custom UI's, but iOS just screams class and Gingerbread screams shanjai. Everything from apps to icons on the UI, iOS is created by top designers, Android looks like a programmer created his UI in MS paint. It is the difference of a house owned by Calvin Klein vs a home owned by the boss of a coal mine in Shanxi. Less is more!
Apple is the only company with enough clout so their product is always released when they want to release it, and no carrier can customize it in any way. No Sense, no Motoblur, no Touchwiz, no carrier garbage, 100 percent California love!
And it hides all the file management and task manager junk away from the end user so even my 2 years old or 60 year old can play with it.
No iOS users are not adding widgets, changing live wall papers, or flashing CM7's. They are consuming apps and contents. That is why IOS has 90 percent of the apps revenues and gets the best developer support.
Big black plastic box doesn't look nearly as good as brushed aluminum and glass, Apple products always have that premium look and feel. Apple is the first time an American company winning with STYLE.
Go on Amazon and Apple has best selling desktop, laptop, MP3, media center, etc. And they all have very best reviews in each category. And Apple makes more profit than any of it's competitors in each category.
And I have Apple refurbished iPad 1 and iPhone 4, they work great and when I sell them next year, I will be able to buy iPad 3 and iPhone 5 (on contract of course) for maybe 200 dollars on top of what I sell them for? That is 50 dollars per device per year, cheaper to own than any other device.
Best looking and selling products in every category, best ecosystem with most premium contents, best customer satisfaction, service and support, least problems, and cheapest to own over the long haul.
That is why Apple is making more profit than anyone else.
