> nobody shop for phones thinking about getting robbed
I don’t know the safety situation of where you live but I literally had this conversation with friends two weeks ago where we loved the idea that the iPhone is a better purchase because it’s less prone to theft (because of the reasons GP mentioned).
Enough for non-anecdotal people to shift their entire ecosystem to a diffent brand? People in general won't just switch from Android to iPhone because "filthy criminals are after my brand new phone for parts". If apple wasn't going to lock their parts and Samsung would, people would still keep buying iPhones.
If iPhones didn’t have that protection, but Android phones did, would you and your friends switch to Android and love the idea that Android phones are the better purchase?
