Does this mean that people who buy e.g. Samsungs do so mainly because they cannot afford iPhones?

(I know that I didn't, but that doesn't count.)

Not making a generalization but I know many many guys who are rich and bought iPhone but they just disliked and went back to android for one basic reason - they love the android UI and ecosystem more.

For example, one guy said he ditched iphone because he can't use truecaller on it. Another one just didn't like the UI. Yet another one is tired of its rather closed ecosystem.

I don't live in India, but that's basically what I gathered from the massive market research I conducted with a few friends :)

Then again, I believe the top-end Samsung and iPhones are comparable in price here in the US?
