> It's because Apple uses a lock-in strategy, where once on an Apple platform it is painful to get off. Most of the smart Apple iPhone users I know actually use Google apps and Google's infrastructure and other third-party tools on their iPhones, so if they want to move to an Android phone they can move almost seamlessly.

...what? Sentence 1, "once on Apple it's painful to get off." The very next sentence, the author says that most iPhone people he knows could move to Android almost seamlessly. That doesn't sound like it's that painful to get off.

Look, if you're going to contradict yourself, fine, just... put a few sentences in between first.
