minus-square@dogs0n@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish4•5 days agoHehe that is funny, sadly I think the US is Apples biggest market, so they probably wouldn’t want to let go and give up any marketshare. US usually is the most important market for most (international) companies I believe.

minus-square@dogs0n@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish2•3 days agoI have no source, but I remember seeing a graph of where iPhones sell and places like China/India were 80% android phones (mostly Samsung I think). I don’t think the asian marketplace puts Apple products in such high regard as the US. Samsung phones are still premium, I think they appeal more in other countries. I see what you mean though with 20% of just China being almost the US population, but they are still losing 300m customers.
