While there are certainly some good points there, Android outselling iOS has much more to do with the simple reality of the sheer number of all kinds of Android devices available at all kinds of price points (many quite cheap, compared to iOS devices) than really anything else.

You have to realizes that sheer number of devices provided people with choice. People can choice what they like, what fit their budget.

Android is popular not only because it is cheap. But it provide people with choice they want .

Of course it's not only because of that, but it has much more to do with it than many other aspects of it all.

I love ios 10 in any way but i think apple left FaceTime behind for quite a while now....Apple could easily replace skype and others apps by offering group faceTime and i will really like that...anyway IOS10 is amazing :)

It is about convince. It is not hard to press home bottom, but it is annoying.

I don't take whatever Apple offer granted. Users have repeatedly asked for better notification system with iOS, including LED notifications lights.

I never understand why Apple fan think whatever Apple offer is the best and whatever Apple not offer must be gimmick or not needed

LOL to that. Apple has directly imported several features from Android and BlackBerry to iOS. This including iMessage, the clone of BBM. Also including notification centre, widgets, allows third party keyboard.

If you want iOS remains iOS, you probably will stuck with iOS 2 forever.

Actually, Android ripped of notifications from an iOS jailbreak. Widgets have been around and used by Apple's computer OS for longer than Android has existed.

So I finally did find one thing I'm really going to like about iOS 10. It's not a feature, just an API. It's the one that will allow VoIP apps to work with the Phone app, so incoming VoIP calls ring just like normal phone calls do and don't come through as a standard notification that you need to swipe to open and put in your pin or scan your fingerprint to unlock the phone.

Since I use Hangouts for 99% of my calls with my Google Voice number, this is going to be awesome. I can't wait until Google implements this API in their app.

WOW ! This is huge ! Does it work with WhatsApp ,Skype and Magic Jack ? I use that one a lot when in the US and for family back there to call me .

It doesn't yet, but once iOS 10 is out publicly various app developers can add this and release updated apps that support it all.

iOS 9 the calendars and reminders section would be hidden... Because there's nothing there.... Eyeless 10 just gives me wasted space... This is hopefully just a bug.

This one UI of iOS 10 that I don't like. This is very ugly and wasted space IMO.

Good for them, I guess.

Not sure what your point is. The iPhone represents another choice. People vote with their wallets as to which brand of smartphone best suits their needs, and Apple's profits is the result of Apple making great devices and making them available to as many users as possible.
