100 million is not most people in the US. I said $1,400 iPhones. I don't even have one that cost $1,400. Again, $3,500 is too much, and most people will agree.
No, those are Apple users that pay Apple prices.
100 million active Mac users, a majority of which are US based.
If you want to stick to iPhones then yes the iPhone is dominating in the US and the iPhone 15 pro series makes up over 50% of iPhone shipments with the 15 pro max being the best selling model.
Where have you been.
3500 might be too much for some Apple users, but Apple already made over 700 million dollars in the first 18 minutes during preorders. It’s a weird argument you are trying to make.
For desktop and laptop computers, Microsoft's Windows is the most used at 73%, followed by Apple's macOS at 16%, and Google's ChromeOS at 2.4% (in the US)
No offense but mobile computing surpassed traditional computing a long time ago.
You also failed to mention that the figures you are quoting has recorded windows decline by 17%. Your figures prove that windows usage is in fact contracting and not growing.
5.5 billion active mobile devices vs 1.4 billion windows devices.
How many of your 100 million got theirs used at a much lower cost?
Apple ships that many Macs every three years. Relative to a 100 million users, absolutely minuscule.
If you look at apples latest financials gross margin is around 45% and is on track to surpass 50% by the end of the year. Asp is up to about $900 for iPhones.
While there is a robust second hand market for Apple devices at a discount it is much smaller than traditional sales channels.
