I do wonder who it is that has all of these android phones in the US (nearly 40% by the statistics). In my extended friend group only one person other than me uses an Android phone.

I'm guessing it's largely the working class and undocumented immigrants. And probably lots of burner phones?

People who can't afford to spend $599 on a phone. Or those who can afford it but can send picture messages all the same on a phone that costs hundreds less.
Android is overwhelmingly preferred by working-class people, in my experience. The phones are simply cheaper.
Or more powerful and more expensive, such as every single foldable phone on the market, including my Oppo Find N5.
