I don't know a single person of any age that uses an iPhone. I live in a medium-to-high income country.

A news program yesterday used a QR code to provide a link to a political document that is newsworthy. The anchor instructed people to "point your Android at the screen" to download the document.

Americans are vast outliers in this.

    As an American, it seems we will go all in on the most expensive and most milquetoastly adequate option every time.

    Do you mind sharing where you live? I'm interested in what traits the countries that skew one way or another may have. It's worth noting that Japan is another outlier in this regard. They are something like 60-70% iOS over there.

    And the UK is pretty evenly split, is my understanding. I have no idea how the demographic breakdown of the stats in the article compare in those territories, though.

    I don't broadcast where I am or other personal info on social media. You can probably reverse engineer it from context cues if you try, it's not like I go to huge lengths to obscure it... but maybe please don't? It'd feel weird and stalkerish.
