Maybe that's you who ought to show any numbers? You said billionS first. The only number I know is "1.5B active installations" which is not even an independent estimate but Tim Cook's boasting in Apple's quarter results. Even if each US and Canada citizen including toddlers had one Apple device (0.365B) I claim it still wouldn't drive the total number to 2B. More numbers: Apple's market share for smartphones in China is estimated at 9%, so again, even if the market was all the population, it's still just 125m. Judging from your submissions and posts you're heavily invested in Apple's ecosystem. It's easy to be biased in this situation and I don't blame you for that. Hope you're happy with their products and they truly make your life easier.

You can easily look for independent estimates (or cold hard visitor/usage statistics) for the total iOS userbase. Billions, billion, millions, million, thousands, thousand, hundreds or even just a hundred: You came in snarling with the accusation that many people whom you don't even know, have Stockholm Syndrome, which really just hints at more of a problem on your side.

  So, no hard data to support your claims, as expected. >You came in snarling with the accusation I just shared an observation. I may be wrong, and you have all the rights to disagree. You can't accuse a person with things done unknowingly and/or unwillingly, so no accusations here.
