People should learn how statistics work. If you want an IOS device you only have one manufacturer to choose from. On the other hand, Android offers hundreds of manufacturers. In total Apple only has approximately 16% global market share. If more manufacturers could offer an IOS device this chart would look different.

[@ironspider6851]

people are losing their brain cells every day. how hard is it to read the chart. the chart says bestselling phones per model. there are only 4-5 iPhone models to choose from. but on the android side, there are over 500 models to choose from. so even if 80% of the mobile users in the world use android, that 80% is shared by 500 different models. and the rest 20% is shared by 4-5 iPhone models. and if you do the math, the 20% will have the bestselling model.

I used to be like you. I was an android die hard. My wife got an iphone 6 in 2014. I got a samsung s7 in 2016. By year 2020, my s7 was crawling slow. I did everything I could to speed it up. I even rooted it and got some roms to help it. My wife's iphone was happily going along. Hers was the bendgate iphone, and the one that was throttled by apple! It was the one that had 2 major media issues! We can only afford to replace 1 phone a year, so we bought her the iphone 11. I switched from my s7 to her iphone 6 and used it for a year. Android only looks better if you aren't next to an iphone. Me, being a techy guy, fell for the pitfall.

@@NarcolepticRaccoon7 by stagnating I mean that android doesn’t offer much of what it hasn’t offered before. Android has always had more features but has always lacked the ecosystem. Apple has computers, tv appliances, earbuds, tablets and everything that can work seamlessly together.

why would anyone want to only have one phone platform survive? Imagine having the option of only one car to buy, or one style of jeans from the same company. Having options spurs innovation and competition. Not sure if I want the company that limits USB-C speeds on the non pro models to USB 2.0 transfer speeds, or the same company that won't display the temperature 69 on it's phone for some reason (maybe they think their buyers aren't mature enough to see that without giggling). More importantly, why would anyone cheer on the demise of competition for devices that we get our information and content from? As for ecosystem, that is as silly an argument as "green bubbles".

[@aiodensghost8645]

It's a catch 22 if one platform is completely purged. If iOS is purged, you will eventually lose the freedom given by Android. If Android is purged, you wouldn't have all the cool software features in iOS being developed as fast, and most apps probably wouldn't exist. If the iSheep wanna be locked down by Apple, let them. Just don't force me to give up the freedom to do with my Android what I wish as long as it isn't illegal or harming anyone.

[@MsHojat]

If you're referring to Apple, indeed that would be terrible. But for non-Apple there's tons of different companies and models available, so Apple disappearing wouldn't significantly change the amount of choice consumers have at all. Also is anyone even saying or implying that they only want Apple to survive?

So who's gonna tell him that if Apple's market share is 29.27%, Android's market share is over 70%... Highest selling phone models aren't a good metric, because one company (like Apple) may have very few models, while another company (like Xiaomi) may have very many models. So say people buy a new Xiaomi, maybe a million people, they will all get various phones, so not one phone will have a million from those sales. If a million people buy a new iPhone, well the 15 is the new iPhone, so the iPhone 15 series (split over 3 models is it?) will get the million sales.

[@jasoncambra4449]

I usually switch between Android and iPhone every time I get a phone. The biggest issue I run into is disconnecting my number from iMessage. I like the iPhone but I am usually tempted by the customization and technology on Android. My last phone upgrade was an iPhone 13 Pro to a Google Pixel Fold. I plan on using this phone until it breaks or apple comes out with something more tempting.

[@ozankafkas]

Just choose what works for you. I love compact devices and I was a diehard android fan before I switched to the apple with an iPhone 11 pro. It was a great phone but a little bit heavy for me. When I saw the 13 mini, I said thats it. Hardware-wise it was the peak smartphone, everything you need in that small device. I gave 11 pro to my cousin and bought the 13 mini. I used it for 2 years and recently I switched back to the android again with Zenfone 10.

[@pyromike25]

I was an iPhone user for over 10 years. Just this last year I switched. Samsung Z Flip 5! I got tired of the boring iPhone. Yes they are great. But man are they stale. It just hit me that I had been buying the latest top tier iPhone for the past decade and hadn't noticed much change in the last several years. It was just a phone and just a camera. I was no longer excited about it. I missed that excitement. So I found it elsewhere. Thanks Samsung and One Plus and Google for keeping the excitement in the smartphone market!!

China dropped, cause most middle class already bought their iPhones, remember China went through a huge economic development in the last few decades, so between that period and now, the sales of iPhones were inflated higher than other countries, but now the market has desaturated, still growing faster than other brands, only Huawei and Xiaomi have a huge presence and that's mainly due to nationalism The same thing is happening in India and many other countries.

Not really, they have just shown the chart of the most popular devices.

I'm vendor-agnostic within the Android ecosystem. I've owned multiple different models from HTC, Sony, LG, Samsung over the years. I go with whoever has the best specifications (fastest SoC, most storage and RAM, smallest, lightest in the 6.2"-6.7" range - I believe 6.4"/6.5" is ideal). I can't consider Apple because of how proprietary and locked down they are. I need to be able to customise my home screen to the way I like it and to be able to just plug my phone into any computer and copy files to/from it without any special software. I am keen to move to a folding phone when they're 8mm thin and a normal screen ratio on the outside that just folds out to a nice small tablet without added thickness when folded in normal use. Apple doens't seem to be doing anything in this space either. Samsung is really pioneering.

I will jump back to Android as soon as I can - which will hopefully be when RCS support comes to iphone. Then I don't have to worry about imessage. But ya I don't see iphone winning the way because their device is actual shit. If their device was good, then ya. But there have been so many glitches and just stupid decisions apple makes that I am already sick of this thing after only 6 months.

My family have all bought Pixel phones in the last year. The huge advantage of Pixel phones over iPhones is that they only cost half as much as an equivalent iPhone and have the best Android experience.

I loved getting new features first and customizing endlessly, sideloading, etc. But, the slow progress of Android/Windows connectivity and unpolished features and feel got to me. During the Apple Silicon transition it became clear that Apple was finally considering user feedback in their designs (more ports on MacBooks, customizable lock screen, interactive widgets) it became no contest. They were implementing everything I liked about Android but with way more refinement. I sold my Galaxy, decommissioned my Windows laptop, and picked up a MacBook and an iPhone. I have not regretted it an ounce, it really is a killer combo.

I live in Europe, but I am a tech enthusiast and been watching trends. My opinion of what happened, some major events: 1- Blackberry failed and all companies switched to iPhones because of security, OS predictability and success factor / reputation. 2- Consumers got hung on Apple products as they got hung on Coca Cola 3- Competitors were crushed by politics and lobbyists, see Huawei 4- Nokia failed to dump Widows early on and move to Android; got bought & sold and lost. Similar to this Sony/Ericsson/LG/HTC did not adapt with the trends and lost the start 5- Samsung had and has such a diverse product lines that no one gets impressed by the brand name. They did not focus entirely on a few models and design. 6- App companies had a better life developing for iOS instead of Android due to the latter having so many variants, flavours and potential complexities.
