>People like the precious looks of stylings and manufacturing that we do in our product compared to the other Android offerings.

Is he essentially saying, people who admire the iPhone hardware, do not really admire iOS? Or Am I missing something. Taking into account the premise of Steve, Apple should make Windows Laptops too?

They do make Windows Laptops. All you have to do is provide a copy of Windows.

That being said, few people would buy an Apple phone without getting the iOS.

Samsung has pretty much captured the market for Android phones for people who admire iPhone hardware, so Woz isn't completely misguided.

I just don't see the upside for Apple. Does he think Apple can gobble up the Android market with well-made, high-quality Android handsets? It's not worth using your resources to manufacture lower-margin equipment when it could be used to make/sell higher-margin equipment.

From my understanding of how Apple Inc work, they are not really focused on market share. It could be one of their goals, but not their entire focus, instead they solely focus on producing products the best human can do and produce. Much like Merce or BMW, are they focused on market share like Toyota? No.
