How? Which users are being forced to use an iPhone? This is a bizarre statement when fully eighty five percent of smartphone users are not on the iPhone.
- hamandcheese 6y agoAnyone who cares about privacy, anyone who bought in to the Apple ecosystem long ago so now the switching cost would be huge, anyone who is non-technical and had their children choose an iPhone for them (i.e. my parents). Also, in the US iPhone has >50% market share.
- mrep 6y agoApples market share in the US is 58% [0] which only leaves you with 42% of the market if you are a developer and don't want to follow apples rules. That's not a good choice.
