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.
