> It is not the phones or OS that makes IOS outsell the other companies mentioned - It is the apps and the marketing.

So nobody buys an iPhone because of how responsive iOS is or how well the iPhone is designed? Give me a break.

Also, it's "iOS". IOS is the Cisco router OS.



By that metric, OS X and Linux are bad operating systems because they don't sell/run anywhere as much as Windows does.

Windows must be superior in every way because it sells more, the other OSes are just bad?

How is that my metric? I said it's ludicrous to assume nobody buys an iPhone because of the design or the OS, it's always because of the apps.

I never said word one about number of units sold, I have no idea what you're talking about right now.
