Ming-Chi Kuo believes half of Note 7 owners will switch to iPhone 7 series

No. I’m sorry but there’re plenty of other good Android phones to chose from. I’m picking up the Google Pixel XL. I can’t iphone.

I agree pixel phones looks promising too.

I’ll keep android forever, I would rather use LG than iPhone. I can never go back to iPhone again, not since the 3gs.

The only reason to own a note is the s-pen. None of the Iphones offer a built-in pen. Those that didn’t care for s-pen and were sold on a note based on hype will just switch to a s7. The rest can take advantage of LG version with a built in pen (don’t know the name) or that other Chinese brand that also has a pen.

If there are any switchers to iPhone it’s only because they were curious to begin with and this is the push they needed.

(This is all my opinion, of course, but I disagree with that guy. I also hate that he reveals a lot of leaks for new iPhones and products taking away from the excitement of Apple keynotes.)

I dont think you’re wrong but you are heavily discounting the number of people who just buy it for brand or because they don’t know anything else because of marketing. That population will definitely go to the iPhone.

I have to say that this iPhone 7 has no lag whatsoever. This is preview of whats to come with iPhone 8. The CPU and GPU tasks are handled smoothly.

One of the great things about the Note 7 was the screen to body ratio. Sure, I could go to the iPhone 7 plus, but it’s an even larger total footprint with a smaller screen. Not to mention a lower resolution screen and if I recall, the loss of amoled.

Both the Pixel and iPhone are so bezel heavy. Although I may end up getting a Pixel.

Im not sure there is a great alternative to the Note 7 at the moment. I’m disappointed that it had whatever design problem it did.

This analyst believes this based on what data? Does he have any sample size based on any questions sent to a Ex-Note 7 owners? Without any backup how does he get this idea? Just Curious!

They don’t have any such data, just a guess. Considering platform loyalty I simply can’t fathom 50% being the number. The iPhone 7 plus offers virtually nothing for a Note series loyalist.

9to5Mac — Apple media fake propaganda.

iPhone 7, iPhone 7 SAME Plus and Google Pixel phones are for dumbasses. that’s… IT.

Oi, what did you do to make PA banned and limit your previous account (kumaran555) at the same time? Never see anything like it. Banned and limited at the same time. LOL.

are you a fool (Kumar123).

Because the iPhone series are the only other flagships available, right, we stick to this no matter what. It’s still 2010, my calender is broke.

Come on it’s 2016, you don’t even need an $800 phone, you can get a mid ranger that does everything.

Im betting more will jump ship! samsung just recycles the sos across multiple across multiple lettering and numbers with daily phone releases. their game just caught up with them with the note7 fisaco. they still have no clue what is causing the problem. yet they probably have molds already built for the s8 and are clueless as what caused the problem and Total ban and shutdown of the Note7
