Turns out that last 10% is where the majority of value is created.


Not even sarcastically true. That's why I'd get an Apple, to get some polish. Apple is far from perfect, but the rest is so far behind..


Definitely not the case in rest of the world. US is where iOS is equally dominating as Android. Probably due to social pressure or everyone having an iPhone. Android is still majority overall everywhere else.


Not just the US. iOS is also majority in all the anglosphere countries: uk, canada, australia

Then it has about 70% in japan. Europe is a bit lower, around 30-35%. And then the result of the world is android by a vast margin.

So in all the rich markets, iphone puts in a majority or good showing. Whereas android dominates at lower price points where the iphone doesn't compete.
