Android vs iPhone 15

[FFR]

Entering 2024 and more and more longtime android users are switching to iPhones for the first time.

Longtime android user I am finding apple devices are much better IMHO.

 

[FFR]

Apple did great last quarter 64% or two thirds of the entire US market, while android is imploding. Samsung and pixels marketshare are in free fall.

 

[o4liberty]

They will continue to do well in the USA.

Actually not just the US but globally:
“If you look at the U.S., iPhone grew and the installed base hit an all-time high; it’s very difficult to measure the replacement cycle at any given point, so Apple focuses on the installed base, which is growing”

But China:
Currently number 1 in China for q4 as well as the entire year. Additionally:
“Solid growth on iPhone upgraders YoY in China and 4 of the top 6 smartphones in urban China”

India and Indonesia:
India grew strong double digits as Apple managed to surpass the 10-million-unit mark in shipments and is now number 1 in revenue for the Indian smartphone market, the first time in a calendar year. Indonesia hit a quarterly record in iPhone adoption for q4

Everywhere else:
Installed based hit record high, The company set all-time records in several countries and regions, including Latin America, Western Europe, the Middle East, and Korea.

iPhones were 4 out of the top 5 models in the U.S. and Japan,
4 out of the top 6 models in urban China and the UK
All top 5 models in Australia.


Info from the q4 2024 or Apple q1 financial call

Interesting.. in UK overall iPhone stands at 51%+. But the kids stand at 74% ! so maybe looks good for the future for Apple.

In central London iPhones are almost at 90%. I don’t even see any android devices anymore.

I live a little way out, and I did see an Android phone the other day ...

iPhone supremacy spreading out of central London .

This probably explains why, premium android is pretty much dead
