I always found it odd that Samsung claim in its ads that older people buy iPhones. It just didn't resonate with reality in my mind. Now there is data that says their claims are false. The Apple buyers are wealthier, younger and more educated according to latest research:



It is not a huge difference but still, it is the opposite of what Samsung claims in its ads.

We just got Samsungs. Everyone at Verizon, including some ex-Apple types, pushd us that way. Among colleagues, there is a groundswell moving from Apple to Samsung/Andriod. I found a few Apple hold-outs, some folk I greatly respect, but by and large the new Androids seem to have one most folk over. Certainly my trials led to Samsung. Opinions, vary, natch.

The data is true to my (perceived) reality, in my country.

Samsung took the place of the chinese knock offs, with the lame-o Android 2.x-powered models. Yes, they still sell Android phones with 2.3 on them. And no, you can't update them.

OTOH, you've got the "gotta have the biggest screen" kind of folks, that'll pay more for the immense screen, to see Facebook with bigger letters.

I'm getting older, poorer and dumber, and my next phone could be an Android, but it's going to have to be one no bigger than an iPhone. I don't carry a purse, and the iPhone is at the upper limit of what I want to stuff in my pocket.

This phone is good for people with impaired vision. Even found a guy who looks like the one in your avatar to pose with it ;)



Otherwise you could consider this:

Just look at where Samsung is from

They are lying and deceitful in their business practices.

I wouldn't buy anything from Samsung.....
