edit: Also you're kind of creating a position for me then attacking it which isn't quite fair. I'm not saying the ONLY reason buy iPhones is for a fashion statement. I'm saying that's a huge chunk of their market. Apples biggest selling point they have left, which I did say, is they've created a strong and loyal base who don't really care what the competition is doing. They like their iPhones and if it's the best phone or not is not a concern of theirs.
People who go iPhone to android then back to iPhone are a minoriy, and I'm sure you have logical reasons to do so (maybe I dont want to assume) you also don't represent the majority. No where in my post did I say I can apply my one anectode to everyone, so again, you're debating an argument and a position I haven't taken.

That really doesn't change your point and Photon's characterization is dead on. You seem to be suggesting that the 15% of people who buy iPhones are generally less discerning than the 80% of people who buy Android phones which is a laughable statement.
The fact is, the vast majority of people who buy anything are usually not that well informed. For every person buying an iPhone as a fashion statement there are several people (simply by virtue of a larger market share) buying an Android device because it's the cheapest way to get a smartphone, or simply blindly buying a Samsung without having the foggiest idea of what Android even is.
Honestly, if Android consumers were as discerning as you seem to be suggesting then Nexus devices wouldn't have a pittance for sales numbers and devices with terrible skins like TouchWiz wouldn't be dominating the market.
