CE-Oh no he didn't!: Apple's Phil Schiller needles Android's fragmentation, user experience
In an interview curiously timed just ahead of Samsung's Galaxy S IV shindig tomorrow, Apple senior VP of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller took time out to tell the Wall Street Journal exactly where he believes his company's product outpaces its Android competition. There's no mention of the Korean company or its flagship product by name, but he took care aim at a frequent target of Android foes: fragmentation.
Android is often given a free replacement for a feature phone and the experience isn't as good as an iPhone. When you take an Android device out of the box, you have to sign up to nine accounts with different vendors to get the experience iOS comes with...They don't work seamlessly together
According to the WSJ, he also shared company data indicating four times as many customers had switched to iPhone from Android during Q4 as the reverse. We'd be interested in seeing what those numbers look like in the quarter of the next Galaxy's release just to follow up, but owners of either product can find more (predictable) talking points at the source link.
