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.
Worldwide 71% of smartphone users have an Android
In Europe 66% of smarthphone users have an Android . And as someone who lives in Europe I can say that I only rarely see Iphones.
Thats mainly beacuse most people watch reviews and look at the specs. And lot of people feel that Apple is too expensive and you can get similar specs for 3/4 or half the price.
Samsung and Google phones drop so hard in price in the EU 1 year after release that you can get them for a half the price of an Iphone.
