re: Apple Or Android? May The Battle Continue.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but you stopped the quote at "switching costs" when there is a whole lot more context to that paragraph

As someone not involved in this conversation, I don't really read that as an affordability argument. But it is weirdly worded for sure.

The very next part of the sentence you left out even says it's driving up sales. If it was an affordability issue I wouldn't think that would drive sales up
