9 out of 10 teens use iPhone. Because of status and iMessage.
Looks like Android is becoming the OS for the rest of the world. Which is ok since I live in the rest of the world.
Not really surprising. Apple had a great name in the US since the iMac and iPod and has been sure to build on it. If I were American I might also be proud to use an “American product”
Thankfully outside the US we have the choice of android. Having said that, the rich and people who love status, do use iPhones
They worked really hard to make this title sound good for Android
It’s also always shocking to hear 9 in 10 US teens use iPhone
9 in 10 US teens use iPhone
US is really a unique market in that regard
Not really. Younger people prefer iPhones, globally. Even in South Korea Samsungs home turf. https://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20230720000592
The future is not looking good for Android.
Not globally.

About 60-40 android across all ages.
They might prefer iPhones, but the reality is most phones in use worldwide are Android because Apple is too stupid and greedy to price their phones fairly.
Yes but if you look younger people are getting iPhones, and what is going to happen when those people grow up? They are not going to move to Android.
Ok but those younger people are a minority, at least 50% of people worldwide, including young people, still use android primarily because it’s cheaper and more affordable than iPhones.
I don’t believe that
It’s not really that surprising when you know the whole blue and green bubble thing was targeted at teens and young adults, the two groups feeling the most societal pressure to fit in. Turns out when you make people not owning your devices clear outsiders then people not wanting to be outsiders will buy your products.
I’m the 10th teen using an Android. Degoogled at that. I think one of my friends is looking to switch from iphone to android so I’m converting some people here.
I think this article is not really useful. What does it matter? It seems silly yo try to come up with numbers for os switching.
I also don’t see any “switched from iOS to Android” numbers which is odd
The fact that Android is less popular among younger generations poses a challenge for its future success in the US market.
I think this concern is overstated. While nobody knows the future to certainty and there’s value in brand familiarity, there’s also a huge difference between getting your phone on your parents’ plan versus managing the plan for yourself or your family.
Priorities change, and I’m not just talking about cost here. For one, I think people care less about what others think as they get older, and that peer effect is a major selling point on Apple products.
