This is exactly my point when i talk about the "tech bubble". iOS users keep telling themselves the numbers are somehow lying, and that their market is the early adopters, and that that market is decent sized. I don't think we appreciate how small that world is.
But since it includes 90% of our direct peers, it feels bigger than it is.

I don't think we appreciate how small that world is. Well, the fact that Android has a larger market share but is still playing catchup to money paid to developers, speaks volumes.
- err4nt 12y agoI live in Canada and literally everybody in my life, except for one friend who is a huge Android fanboy, uses iOS. I don't have a phone, but I can still iMessage everybody else I know from my tablet except for one person. Now I love the idea of android, I love the technology and I use Linux daily on web servers so I get the customizeability and the appeal, but let's face it - if I write an iOS app I can send that to nearly everybody I know. If I write an android app only one person I know could install it.
