Don't take too seriously those paragraphs, they are an intent from DED to bash more Android.
Also, occasional times aside, ded actually bases most of its analysis on cold facts.
agreed! The AI forums have their own version of reality.......Very funny. Because it is a joke, isn't?
If it is not, you have to post on Appleinsider forums, perhaps there you will be applauded, here it is only a poor attempt at starting an stupid fame bait iwth a lot of nonsense.
Yes i linked to an Appleinsider article (Cos thats where i initially saw the story). But the numbers are quoted from Facebook itself. Or are you shocked! Facebook posted those numbers too
Yet they continue to be bought, as a lot of people 1. don't have the money, 2. don't want a contract, or would never qualify to have one but still want access to basic apps like Facebook and whatsapp, and are willing to put up with a lemon of a device if it allows them access.

Great post! That's the reason I never read AI. It only spreads FUD on android.-- Facebook did not say the things that the AI article claimed
The AI article claimed that "66 percent of the installed base of Android users accessing Facebook are on the level of an iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy S2, which shipped with Android 2.3 Gingerbread."
-- No, not iPhone 4 level
First off, the Facebook article made no comparisons to iPhones, and they certainly did not say 2011 was "iPhone 4 era". They said 2011 ANDROID LEVEL, which is different.
(The model Facebook chose to mark a 2011 Android phone, had twice the RAM and a larger display than the later iPhone 4S, 5, 5C and 5S.)
In fact, making price or other comparisons to iOS was clearly not the intention of the Facebook programmers. It was simply to give themselves helpful demarcation points as to what Android phone specs to program toward.
-- Gingerbread? You mean, Jelly Bean.
Yes, the GS2 came with Gingerbread, but it was later updated all the way to Jelly Bean.
In fact, Facebook specifically said: "...the bulk of devices we now see are running Jelly Bean."
AI deliberately ignored both the updates and the Facebook comment.
-- 2/3 below means 1/3 above, and that's the same number as the iPhone
The most important take-away is something I have repeatedly brought up: PERCENTAGES ARE MEANINGLESS WITHOUT KNOWING THE ACTUAL QUANTITIES.
Especially since Android phones sell at three times the number of iPhones. E.g. 1.5 billion Android phones have been sold vs 0.5 billion iPhones. Which means just 1/3 of something Android == ALL iPhones.
So it doesn't matter if 2/3 of Android phones are 2011 Android (NOT IPHONE) specs or below, since that also means 1/3 are 2012 Android specs or above.
And that 1/3 quantity is the numerical equivalent of all iPhones in use. It would be a very good guess that most iPhones in use are also 2012 specs (IPHONE specs) or above.
most people that use flagship android devices know not to install the android facebook app
I avoid facebook most of the time, but when I do log on it's through the browser. the android app has had a bad reputation for ages.
apple commands 86% of smartphone industry profits. comment?
it means you paid too much for bendable junk, last generation lcd, no oled, low 1gb dram, no precision pen and buggy and laggy ios 8. only ignorant people brag about getting overcharged while smart consumers get the most bang for their buck like buying a car for little over or under invoice.
a lot of things without nothing to do with my post
EDIT: Here's the original Facebook post.
Haha, so you edit your post to hide the fact you were quoting an Apple Insider article written by one of the most pro-Apple bloggers in the world.
so i'm not really sure what you're rolling your eyes for. Meh...whatever makes you feel better.
The one that didn't understood is you, well, it is not that you didn't understood, it is that you write what you want to write regardless of what others say.
Can you understand that I have say ashit about Apple profits, I have talked about DED.
So, ignored and reported, because what you do on this subforum has a name

now, contribute to the discussion
You must have missed the part where they stated that they (justifiably) ignored you.
It all works out pretty evenly. According to Apple fans, most Android phones are 2011 tech and according to Android fans, the latest iPhone just joined 2012...

Yep best way to deal with those people is exactly what you did. Like you I learn to just ignore this people has giving them thing gives them some crazy high. Their brain is addicted to the attention good or bad.The one that didn't understood is you, well, it is not that you didn't understood, it is that you write what you want to write regardless of what others say.

I'm wagering 80% of android phones sold are NOT flagships, so this sounds about right.
Android has a massive chunk of phone market as well. It's delusional to think most people are buying high end phones.
In just about any market, the high end is always the smallest piece of the pie.
