> A significant % of people who buy iPhones are not able to make a truly informed decision about this at the time
I mean the devices change year to year but are people seriously finding themselves surprised by what iPhone can do but Android can't or vice versa?
If we were talking about a college tuition loan or a mortgage then yeah I'd say `not able to make a truly informed decision about this at the time` but this is like the lowest stakes decision possible no?
> It's not cheap to swap ecosystems
Is that true? Seems like there is always a nearly free phone deal out there and your network will probably migrate everything for you anyway.
Most of the studios participate in MoviesAnywhere meaning a movie purchased on iTunes automatically shows up in your Amazon, Google, Vudu, etc library.
How many apps that you purchased that have an Android equivalent aren’t based on cross platform subscriptions?
Walled garden policies make full migration not possible, at least for free. Things like your music library, ebooks, in-app currency, etc are often not allowed to move.
If I were to move to iPhone now, I'd have to spend at least a hundred bucks finding and buying alternative apps.
