I suspect Iphones actually cater to the way people have recently been educated. As I grew up my schooling taught me as a first principle that to learn something you had to understand it. Now my children/grandchildren are quite happy to learn about things and never seek to understand them. As consumers those same people just don't want/need to know about security or crashes or how everything connects they just want it to work seamlessly. Iphones do exactly that. As consumers they don't care that IOS is Unix based, they just want to send messages, photos text etc. You get a choice of 1 for most programmes. With Android you get multiple choice to do anything, some work some don't. Political propaganda says that this program or that is monitored by (insert choice of "nasty" government) so consumers can't tell what is correct or not so they avoid making the choice by going Iphone. By the way it is probably more likely that we do not have to understand things to use them. No? Ask people how the stock market works and you will never get 2 answers the same.
