That is not only related to privacy regulations. Many European countries are not so consume oriented and have less spare dollars etc. For example, iPhone market share was still at 26% in Europe. We have different consumer behavior than the US ... and that you can realize in these numbers.

> iPhone market share was still at 26% in Europe I don't think that's an example at all, I would argue even it is non-sequitur. iPhone just never became "cool" in Europe the same way they did with US teenagers, because in Europe no phone is "cool". Someone buying a $799 Samsung obviously doesn't have less spare money than someone buying a $799 iPhone.

  I don't think there are many European teenagers who own an $800 phone of any brand.

    And if you have the money AND interest in consume ... You buy an iPhone. While many do not have the money, many also have no interest spending the money on it.
