> The Moto Z beat them

The unfortunate part is that you can make anything better in a single parameter, but Apple has effectively no competitors. People who buy Apple will continue to buy Apple.

For people to switch, the competition has to come out with something that is visibly and unbeatably better than what Apple has.

I know many people in developing countries who'd rather have a 5 year old iPhone than a new android.

Bs. I've seen people migrate between iphones/pixels/galaxies. Some write about it in HN even.
