ANDROID USERS “PROVEN” TO BE “JUST AS BAD AS APPLE ENTHUSIASTS (IF NOT WORSE),” AND THE GROWING DECL

A recent post by Business Insider has got the smartphone world abuzz after posting the results of one of its surveys.

If you didn’t plan on buying an iPhone, there was no “I prefer Android,” or “I don’t like what the iPhone has to offer over other phones,” or anything even remotely sensible. You essentially had the option of “I want an iPhone because it has a better
