I keep reading this is “a US issue”. It isn’t and it isn’t just iMessage. In Japan, walk up and down the crowds in the subway and an astounding majority of people have an iPhone. Most people are using Line to message. There’s more to it than blue text bubbles.

Can confirm. Living in Japan and using iphone right now. Even for company-subsidized work phones, they will be iphones most of the time.

Japanese are really loyal to iPhones in all ways. In Hong Kong many people have an iPhone personally (something around 40%), but for company-subsidized phones, almost 100% are Android (excluding Apple Store)
