outside of the U.S., Apple is not really a thing I think Apple is still very much a thing in the EU and the Anglosphere. What platform are you on?

I think Apple is still very much a thing in the EU and the Anglosphere. What platform are you on?
- ivanmontillam 2y agoI live in the south of South America. Apple doesn't have official stores around here like they do in the U.S., so Apple doesn't enjoy of the market forces like other vendors do. Just to single out an example, Samsung here takes device trade-ins of both Samsung and Apple devices. If you wanted an iPhone you'd have to buy it at full price new always. Not even carriers offer discounts for Apple devices. For starters, Samsung in this country has a factory/assembly line making it cheaper for locals, so your device is put together here and also exported to the neighbours. If you want my claim backed up with numbers: https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/android-vs-apple/ https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/android-vs-apple/
- wyclif 2y agoI don't doubt your claim. The only thing I'm maintaining here is that Apple is quite popular in many countries outside the US. Go to Australia and NZ and notice how many people have iPhones.
