Well, Apple sells about 200 million iPhones a year, so when you add in iPad sales to that, unless you are outside the US, you should consider yourself in a very select minority.
- ghurtado 9y ago200 million worldwide. The iPhone currently has around 15% of the smartphone market: https://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/27/iphone-15-percent-market-share/ https://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/27/iphone-15-percent-marke... Last time I checked, 85% was most definitely not a minority.
- albedoa 9y agoHold up. Is it your belief that Apple's smartphone market share in 1Q16 is equal to the number of people who have iPhones or Apple products?
- ghurtado 9y agoIf you have a different figure, you should share it
- albedoa 9y agoThis is your source to defend. 85% of smartphones purchased in 1Q16 were non-Apple. You used this figure to claim that 85% of all people don't own iPhones. You're most likely right, but I don't know what kind of honest conversation can be had with someone who is so willing to pull one over on the rest of us to force his point. You derived your own figure from an unrelated figure and implied a connection. If you had answered "Oh haha yup, my bad" that'd be excusable. But it looks like you're running with it and / or throwing the burden on me for some reason.
- ghurtado 9y agoYou've used a lot of words to say close to nothing at all. > You're most likely right What exactly are you complaining about then?
- albedoa 9y agoYou don't think being intentionally misleading should be an issue to people who might otherwise agree with your base claim? There's something seriously wrong with your compass here. > You've used a lot of words to say close to nothing at all. Alright man, that says a lot about how willing you are to change.
- ghurtado 9y ago> intentionally misleading I think what's wrong with this conversation is that you think you can correctly attribute malice to the opinions of complete strangers simply because you don't agree with them. This will get you into trouble more often than not. Did you notice how I didn't accuse you of intentionally adding nothing to the conversation or intentionally being obtuse? That's because I don't know you at all and therefore I don't claim to know anything about your intentions. As a matter of fact, even after this very ridiculous conversation, and although I haven't the slightest clue of what your actual intentions are, I still give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your intentions are noble, (albeit clearly based on incorrect assumptions). That's the difference between you and I.
- albedoa 9y agoWhat will get you into trouble is insisting we don't know you at all. On the contrary, you've told us enough.
- dkrich 9y agoYou're right, I stand corrected. Nobody uses Apple products. Let's move on.
