George P Global Moderator Posted February 18, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2014 The fact is that the only market where the iPhone is number 1 is in the US last I saw. In every other market it's either number 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789A Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Dat Android... But there's probably more hope for Windows Phone in that market than there is for iPhones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JHBrown Subscriber¹ Posted February 18, 2014 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 18, 2014 I don't think Apple was in a race to win in all of these markets. A $50 iPhone would drastically change the numbers in all of these markets. I don't Apple is interested in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted February 19, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2014 For those pointing to Androids share it's hard to argue with their volume, for every one Lumia phone theres at least 10 android phones on sale. MS should give the OS out to OEMs for cheaper or free and get more volume out there, if that can happen then we'll see how far it can really go. As long as there's a huge difference in volume of handsets being pumped out then Android will always have the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patseguin Global Moderator Posted February 19, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2014 I guess I better sell my iPhone and get a Windows Phone since they are more popular in Brazil, lol. Seriously though, I am intrigued with Windows Phones/Tablets, I just don't think they have the apps to compete with iOS. I don't know if apps are limited outside the US or what. Virtually everywhere I go, someone has an iPhone in their hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patseguin Global Moderator Posted February 19, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah I've played with an S4 in store and it's a great device. I also had a Nexus 4 for about a year and Lumia Windows Phone for a short time. Both were great devices but the whole iPhone ecosystem was just best for me. Like you said though, I guess it's how it's marketed. mrchetsteadman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-T- Member Posted February 19, 2014 Member Share Posted February 19, 2014 The only people i know with iPhones are the ones that don't really know anything about tech. They tend to just buy whatever is popular and they're a little on the shallow side. I do however only know about 3 people with Windows Phones, and while they like them, I think android will be ruling the roost for quite some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Active. Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 iPhone leads in only market where true price of phones is mostly hidden. I think it's more a factor of the price sensitivity of the markets. Same with Macs that have a marketshare of ~15% in the U.S iirc...which I find quite incredible considering the average selling price compared to PCs in general.
