IPhone users are very loyal, and price does not seem to be a factor.
Android users are satisfied with theor phones snd their prices are hard to beat.
It has been a while since either company has released anything new or exciting.
I dont think politics would be enough to drive many people to a new phone system. The masses care little for freedom or privacy.
So what could an X phone possibly have to drive business?
I would buy one only for this: the ability to autosort all of my app icons in different ways vs. all the manual BS. They know it's a problem but they won't do a thing about it.
