Apple Inc.'s iPhone 6 Just Claimed 72% of This Massive Market

It's not 100% preference though. I'd prefer a Windows phone but it doesn't have the most important apps I want/need so therefore it's no good for me. I don't prefer to use an iPhone but do because it has what I need out of a mobile phone.

Now that App developers will be able to easily port native iOS apps to Windows Mobile, we should start seeing a lot more iPhone apps on Windows.

It's what you are used to. I quite like the Samsung S6 with the metal and curved screen corners but what puts me off that phone is the non removable battery - especially if you are out in the wild a lot and don't always have access to a charger -- swapping a battery is simple and easy.

Nowadays, external battery packs you plug into your phone to recharge them are cheap.. usually a lot cheaper than the official replacement battery for your phone. They are pretty versatile, some can even jump-start a car.

I actually also LIKE the windows UI on a windows phone --I just don't like the HANDSETS

I know the world may be coming to an end by my saying this... but I agree with you.

Actually, I've been saying that for a long time. The primary reason Windows Phone has such a low market share is lack of compelling handsets. And when they do have a compelling model, it's often only available on one carrier.

I'm really hoping Microsoft follows through on the rumor that they may provide Windows 10 ROMS for android phones.

Is this just for those using Good? There are other MDM's. So if it's only for Good, then it's probably right.

The developer of the main app I use has confirmed they have no plans to develop their app for Windows phone unfortunately.

And of course they can't possibly change their mind.. ever...

When was this? Was this after Microsoft's recent announcement of native ios app portability? Do they even know about it? "Plans" can change when you find out it will take 3 hours to port your code to a new platform.

Just ask BlackBerry how well that went. It was an easy port there also.

Do you have to ask??

I just found it a tad strange to be posting stuff about Apple products in a Windows 10 forum.:)
