Your theory makes sense if people buy only one phone in their life time.

- graeme 6y agoYou can actually look up device numbers. I did and was surprised. Apple 1.5 billion, android 2.5 billion, in 2019. The comparison is a little murky because both stats include everything: watches, speakers, etc. But at least 900 million iphones were active. https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/29/18202736/apple-devices-ios-earnings-q1-2019 https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/29/18202736/apple-devices-io... https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/07/there-are-now-more-than-2-5-billion-active-android-devices/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/07/there-are-now-more-...
- wffurr 6y agoNot sure how that follows. If iPhones last twice as long as Android phones, then for every iPhone sale to one user there are two Android sales to one user. Thus in any given year, there are twice as many iPhone users as the market share of phones sold in that year would indicate.
