Pretty hard to know who the minority is in this case. Based on other HN opinions about Apple products, there seems to be a consensus that Apple customers are mostly not tech savvy. If they were, they wouldn’t buy Apple stuff.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoEven though this is a stereotype not grounded in reality and there are plenty of techie people who buy Apple products.
- lanstin 5y agoLots of tech folks buy apple and at the same time vast majority of Apple customers should not be trusted to do valid security assessment or maintain good operational security.
- akudha 5y agoI am not particularly a fan of Apple. Still, I think Apple is better than Google. That is how sad the situation is. There is simply no choice other than iOS and Android. I really wish Microsoft hadn't given up so soon on windows phone. Microsoft isn't great either, but at least there would be three choices instead of two. I hope projects like Librem 5 succeed, but they are a long way :(
- tshaddox 5y agoWhy is it hard to know? Apple has at most like a 20% market share globally, and around 50% in the United States. The overwhelming majority of smartphone owners have a non-Apple smartphone.
- fastaguy88 5y agoWhat is hard to know is whether Apple (iPhone) users are sophisticated enough to not be exploited by non-Apple App stores.
