I don’t think it’s that stark. iPhone has captured the market of people who want to pay for things related to their smartphone by offering a slightly higher end smartphone.
Android users made a choice to prioritize their smartphone less in their financial lives by getting a cheaper device (except for the 5-6 HN commenters who got an Android because of a personal vendetta against the Apple App Store policies).
It stands to reason that the people who decided not to spend money on a smartphone also decide not to spend money on smartphone apps.
- underwater 6y agoYour comment is reading as pretty condescending and judgemental. Not everyone who owns an Android is cheap.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agothere's a difference between cheap, thrifty, and not wasteful.

- marketingPro 6y agoIt boggles me to think an Apple user thinks they are getting something high end. A nerd get an Android, where a teenager will get an iPhone. It's simply a low information consumer buying an overpriced product.
- Zenbit_UX 6y agoLol, that's cute. Sorry to burst your bubble of pretention but the highest end android phones are in another league of price and have been for a long time. To be fair I won't even bother comparing the Zflip2 foldable because it's more of a proof of concept than something many people buy but it's price tag would make you blush. So, the numbers: the latest and greatest iPhone 12 max is $1549 CAD while Samsung's Note 20 Ultra 512GB is $2029.99 CAD.
