For iPhone only users, so right off the bat your product is targeting 50% ish of a companies customer base. And the non iMessage people get a worse experience?

- garygao 4mo agoWe have SMS/RCS fallback for non-iMessage devices. Also, in the verticals that we're targeting, the iMessage usage rate is a lot higher than 50%
- allthetime 4mo agoIn North America iPhone/android split is far from 50/50. I have 4 different apps running and the split is about 80/20 and has been for a decade. Internationally android is used at a higher rate - but that is decreasing as lesser economies play catch up.
- dubcanada 4mo agoNot sure what bubble you live in, but that is incorrect. Maybe in California it's 80/20. Every single statistic globally is nearly 80/20% for android. There is a few rich markets and they may be 80/20 for Apple, but realistically Android wins every single time, no matter what market you look at. China/India are like 30-40% of the world, and they are both under 20% usage. Europe - 60/40% split for android US/Canada - 40/60% split for iPhone Even some of the higher countries are only 70/30% for iPhone. Ignoring that is fine if your target is rich North Americans. But you are still chopping off X% of customers.
- loumf 4mo agoWins for "devices owned", but not necessarily for customers, which depends on the product/service. The OP has said they have fallback to SMS/RCS.
