For every person that still owns and uses an iPad 1, there are probably 10 who have bought two or more Android tablets since then.

The same can be said for Macs and iPhones. There are more people with 2007/8 MacBook Pros than with Dell laptops from that same year. There are more people with the iPhone 4 (not 4S) than there are those still using a Samsung Galaxy S2.

And the same thing with iPods, which is why Apple recalled the Nano five years after the fact, and if anything else came up with the others, would probably be doing the same procedure now.

iOS 7 has received a lot of negative press, but at the end of the day, it's nowhere near the amount of hate Windows 8 has received. Android guys don't complain about KitKat, but the majority of them probably haven't even seen Jelly Bean.

Good points. Over the past 2 years I've owned 3 tablets 2 androids and 1 iPad. Guess which one I've had the longest and still have? The iPad mini. I've had it for over a year now.

My mum is still clinging on to her iPhone 4 lol she's had it since 2010 and is way past her upgrade date. She took out a second line and got a samsung galaxy S3 but she rarely uses it.
