A reputable research company Kantar recently revealed that Android users in Europe now favors iOS. A huge number of those android users are now siding with iOS and the iPhone.
The interesting thing is this movement from Google’s operating system is actually happening during the summer, a season of year where Apple’s sales usually drop because consumers are awaiting a new iPhone to launch in September
In the biggest economies in Europe (Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom) saw a combined 27% of all people who purchased a smartphone during the last quarter came from Android to iOS. Even in the United States the number was 9% showing Apple’s strategies are paying off.
This is especially the case in Europe though where Apple and the iPhone are enjoy even more success. Even Samsung is running scared on the Old Continent as the company decided not to launch the Galaxy Note 5 in Europe, allowing the iPhone 6 Plus to thrive.

Embryology and Homology
One major problem is that in many cases organs and structures which
appear identical (or very similar) in different animals do not develop
from the same structure or group of embryo cells.
It is not uncommon to find fundamental structures
(e.g. the alimentary canal) that form from different embryological
tissues in different animals.
For example,
in sharks the alimentary canal is formed from the roof of the embryonic gut cavity;
in frogs it is formed from the gut roof and floor; and
in birds and reptiles it is formed from the lower layer of the embryonic disc or blastoderm.
Even the classic example of vertebrate forelimbs
referred to by Darwin (and cited in hundreds of textbooks as proof for
evolution) has now turned out to be flawed as an example of homology.
The reason is that the forelimbs often develop from
different body segments in different species in a pattern that cannot be
explained by evolution.
The forelimbs in the newt develop from trunk segments 2 through 5;
in the lizard they develop from trunk segments 6 to 9;
in humans they develop from trunk segments 13 through 18.
Denton concluded that this evidence shows the forelimbs usually are not developmentally homologous at all.
As an example, he cited the development of the
vertebrate kidney which provides a challenge to the assumption that
homologous organs are produced from homologous embryonic tissues.
‘In fish and amphibia the kidney is derived directly
from an embryonic organ known as the mesonephros, while in reptiles and
mammals the mesonephros degenerates towards the end of embryonic life
and plays no role in the formation of the adult kidney, which is formed
instead from a discrete spherical mass of mesodermal tissue, the
metanephros, which develops quite independently from the mesonephros.’
This research supports ReMine’ biotic message theory,
the conclusion that the natural world was specifically designed to look
like it did not evolve, but was created. ReMine uses a wide variety of
examples to support his thesis which has been very favorably reviewed by
the creationist community. ReMine notes that homology has been used as
evidence against a designer for decades, but as this review shows, it
strongly supports the biotic message theory.
