I'm about to buy a new phone, and I'm going to get an iPhone 5. The primary reason is not because it's (necessarily) a better phone than any Android phones, or because iOS6 is better, but because I can't spend three weeks building an iPhone app anywhere nearly as I could an Android one. I don't have the time, or even close to having the time, but I know with an Android phone I would do it anyway, and it would probably just derail the other 30 things I don't have time for. (For the record, I have built an iPhone app before and it's not that it's harder than building for Android in terms of code/framework, but I don't have a Mac, a developer licence etc).
I wonder if anyone else is motivated to get an iPhone because of this? It's a kind of bizarre situation, but one I'm so glad I identified before buying a phone.
Wait, you are going to buy an iPhone because that would _hinder_ you from taking up app development since you don't have a Mac? That is quite bizarre yes, but each to his own :)
