Then why is iOS not generally successful outside US?
- Nextgrid 8y agoI am not sure why you don’t consider it successful. Here in London iOS is the default. Android-wise I only see two categories of users: power-users that chose Android for functional or ideological reasons, and budget-constrained users that cant afford or don’t see the value in an iOS device. Both those groups seem to be the minority, just looking around for people on their phones in public places yields a majority of iPhones.
- koyote 8y agoPretty much all of continental Europe (including wealthy countries such as Germany) have iPhone market share at less than 20%; the UK is the outlier there.
- Nextgrid 8y agoFrance is also an exception then from what I remember pre-2015 (unless things changed dramatically since then).
- kyriakos 8y agoAndroid is pretty huge in Europe. London could be an exception. Surprising even Chinese brands became popular lately with own physical stores in Western European capitals.
- scotty79 8y agoI think there is a patriotism component in iPhone US prevalence.
- ufo 8y agoAt least here in Brazil it comes down to cost. Iphones are extremely expensive, and restricted to the luxufy segment.
