Not in Africa and other developing countries.
- coldtea 11y agoActually tons of people in Africa have Android phones by now...
- Macha 11y agoAndroid phones use SIM cards in most of the world. CDMA/locking the device to an account is basically a US only thing.
- x0054 11y agoBut who cares about sim cards? If SIM cards were to run on Fortran (for some strange reason), would you argue that Fortran is the wave of the future.
- coldtea 11y agoExactly that.
- coldtea 11y agoI didn't say Android phones don't use SIM cards. I'm a European, I have an Android and an iPhone with SIM cards both. I replied to the statement that "in Africa they don't use Android phones", not that in Africa they don't use SIM cards.
- Cyph0n 11y agoOf course they have Android phones. My point is that SIM-based applications for payments especially are still quite widespread in Africa.
