There are countless reasons why to criticise Apple and iDevices but let's try to explain the popularity:

- The iPhone was the first noteworthy smartphone thereby generating a user base.
- The PR is effective. This includes alleged reasons for paying too much.
- Apple has a monopoly on iOS devices.
- The whole of available softwares for iOS is said to be better than for Android.
- The average period of iOS updates is significantly longer than Android updates.
- Apple commits fewer privacy violations than Google and some of its OEMs.
- Competition by third operating systems still hardly exists.
- Apparently there is demand for expensive smartphones with above average cameras.
- Especially in the USA, iPhones are a social status symbol.
- The average used value of iPhones is larger than of Android smartphones.
- People invested in iOS software do not switch easily and the Walled Garden is an additional gatekeeper.

Never understood why the iPhone is so popular. I know it's been said enough and people should choose what they like but this is one sad company time after time.

The US Government has drafted a bill that would force Apple to open up its devices to third-party app repositories. Apple has petitioned the Senate judiciary committee to reconsider it, citing privacy and security concerns.
