explain to me why iphone's are popular when they are overpriced

Can't tell if trolling or not, but either way I'll tell you why. I personally use Android because I'm a cheap ass, but here's my take.

95% of consumers don't give a shit about customization, hardware, or any of the sorts of things a hardcore Android enthusiast cares about. What most consumers care about is aesthetics, brand, software quality, ease of use, and perceived speed. They don't give a shit about having an 8 core snapdragon processor. They just want their damn webpages and apps to run smoothly without issue. Android's biggest benefit, the fact that it's hardware agnostic, is also it's biggest downfall. When Apple works on OSX, they only have to worry about a handful of hardware configurations, and the can (and do) optimize the hell out of the OS out of those configurations. In the end, they don't need the fancy snapdragon processor because they optimized the OS for the less powerful hardware variants. Google can't optimize the OS the same way that apple does, since the OS has to be compatible for essentially any hardware. Because of that, it's up to hardware manufacturers to optimize the OS for their hardware variant, which they never do.

Also, Apple has a much better and more polished app store. Apple has strict(ish) standards to publish to their app store, while Google Play lets you put up basically anything. This is fine for people who are good at spotting bad apps, but most consumers would rather just spend the money for a phone where they know that, when they download an app, it's going to be to a certain standard. Google Play does not have that same garuntee.

yeah but the iphone looks like shit.
the asthetics looks like dull uninteresting shit with a basic design which keeps getting rehashed.
honestly it looked good in 2008, but that was almost a decade ago

and the UI is the worst offender.
it truly looks like total shit.
it literally resembles something made for toddlers.
like dora the explorer or someshit

China isn't communist.
iPhones are only popular in America.
Android phones do not have better design aesthetics and never have.
Google is lucky they have material design and apple hasn't come up with anything worthwhile.

Fun fact: a Nexus 6P matches a Macbook Pro better than any iPhone does
