"AI for the rest of us."

wkat4242 2y ago
Except Apple isn't really for the rest of us. Outside of America and a handful wealthy western countries it's for the top 5-20% earners only.

  Japan and Taiwan are both more than 50% iOS. Ref: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/iphone-market-share-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/iphone-ma...

  Approximately 33% of all smartphones in the world are iPhones.

    60% in the US

    Maybe the suspicion is the top 5% carry six smartphones?
- theshrike79 2y ago
  In the EU the market share is 30%

    Yes but not evenly distributed, BeNeLux, Germany, Austria, and Nordic countries have a lot of iPhone users, while moving further east (or south) you see lower market share. Maybe it’s “two handfuls” of wealthy western countries rather than just one, but I think OPs point holds true.

        Ah, I stand corrected. Not sure where I found that high number.

      In Romania it's 24.7%

        Huh interesting, I missed that. You’re right (actually I see even 25.5%).

Poland, Greece, Hungary and Bosnia-Herzegovina are the only ones under 20% (and maybe a few others). OTOH Britain is over 50% as is Sweden. Finland, the land of Nokia is over 35%.

      One average American user is probably worth 5-10 average European users.
      - theshrike79 2y ago
        (I've dabbled in mobile games) Yes. Americans are THE most valuable customer base, y'all use insane amounts of money on mobile crap.

This sounds like every newcomers to the stage except for big players like Apple.
