Apple controls more than half of the U.S. smartphone market. One big reason for that dominance isn’t the company’s marketing …

apple gives 5 years of software update not 6

Probably the biggest reason is that the general public are basically technophobes who like everything presented at a child's level, easy to grasp, simple, cartoon-like…dumbed-down.
Pixel Phone 4 LIFE.
MKHBD Spoke about this nearly a year ago. Y'alll late
Security was a main reason I got my dad to switch and also Apple Watch support for emergency health.

WSJ reporting incorrectly 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣. Or maybe it just sounds misleading? You be the judge….
Samsung announced in February 2022 that a list of Galaxy devices will be eligible for four years of Android updates, including tablets, flagships, foldable phones, cheaper Galaxy A series phones, and Galaxy Watch models.
Samsung "recently" announced that ALL devices from 2019 or later will get four years of security updates. That includes every Galaxy line: Galaxy S, Note, Z, A, XCover, and Tab, for a total of over 130 models.
Newer flagship devices like the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22, Galaxy Z Fold 4, and others are scheduled to get five years of security updates.
Thank God the title says US… There is a whole world out there and iPhone is not king at all, iMessage is mostly unknown in all countries other than the US
The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without hesitating then the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich
Ease of use on the UI is the biggest selling point for me.
Love listening to two ai chatbots chatting with each other.
i bought an iphone for the first time for this exact reason. you can't afford not to have updates on such an important device
dumb phones for dumb people. makes total sense
Haven't felt this good for year! He got slammed hard! Well done Mr Emmer 👏 👍 slam the jokers! Take charge! Make America great again
WSJ getting so lazy, can't even be bothered to video call each other
This is so stupid. As a customer I can tell you these features aren’t that popular. Iphone camera and backup are important features and apple kills old iPhones slowly so customers buy new device. Their service is worst-in India
green/blue bubble nonsense….simply quality of product & ecosystem…android over priced for what it offers.
I think tour columnist Mims made a mistake speaking about long-term support.
Apple supports phones up to 6 years with new versions of iOS, it is true. Those are more "number updates" than features.
Apple usually reserves much part of new features to last launched phones without adding them to older ones.
Samsung, on the other hand, recently announced a 4 years Android update which means all Android's new features for each new version and much of Samsung OneUI's ones [and not just a bit of them].
Plus, Samsung now guarantees 5 years of security updates, critically more important of features updates for "future proofing" a Digital device.
So, there is just a year difference nowadays.
It's only in America
It didn't mention connectability. Schools in the U.S. use Macs so kidses are used to that platform. Then you get an iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and they can all be easily connected with your Apple ID. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the story.
I love apple. Their products are reliable.
