Re: tried an iphone 6 and iphone 6+ today .... got so jealous !
Consumers are not rational. They buy an iPhone because it is shiny. It is a status symbol. Is a Rolex better than a Seiko watch? They both tell the time, except the Rolex has shiny diamonds on it. The Rolex is not even hand made. It is mass produced.
Apple has succeeded in indoctrinating the masses. They have made it a desirable good, not for the specs and the productivity gained from it, but because they have successfully marketed the iPhone.
WP is not selling because of Microsoft's marketing. The 1520 is a better device that the iPhone 6. It has a better camera for starters...
Windows 10 will help market WP. Consumers should see that the potential of 1 unified OS. Many are already entrenched in the Windows ecosystem in the pc. Windows 10 brings their experience on the pc to the smartphone.
But to respond to yours, I understand your opinion, and I somewhat agree with you. But the market doesn't. Given your logic, WP should be doing much better than 3% market share. I'm no Apple fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I certainly respect Apple and what they have accomplished in the mobile field. I believe that Apple deserves every fan they have, and I will not criticize a single one. Were it not for the cost I might be one of them. A few years ago it was pretty much a fact that the iPhone was easily the best, although we have seen some parity since then. It's pretty easy for anyone looking in from the outside to discredit the praise given to WP with one question, "Why isn't WP selling?"
