I was just wondering why apple market share is so relatively high in USA.

1. Has money to burn.
2. Doesn't know anything about computers or technology.
USA has a really bad gini index and education system so I suppose there is a high proportion of people there who fit both criteria.

- stacktrust 4y agoIn the early iPhone era, US phones were usually subsidized/financed by mobile phone carriers, e.g. an expensive iPhone could be heavily discounted or "included" in a 2-year contract, with the carrier looking at the lifetime value of the customer's data subscription. This was less common in Europe and elsewhere, where customers were more likely to purchase their phone separately. If anyone was burning money, it was US carriers, rather than US mobile phone users.
