> Yeah, that just doesn't pass the simplest sniff tests. I barely use iMessage, and yet I'm an iPhone user.

A single anecdote isn't data. You're not a typical consumer.

The only major market where iPhone outsells Android (number of handsets) is the US, and it's because of iMessage. Android is 70% of the world market and dominates LatAm, Africa, and Asia.

Why are you comparing a single phone manufacturers market position to the market position of an entire OS?

iOS vs Android isn’t relevant when discussing hardware. It’s Apple vs Samsung etc. iOS doesn’t need majority market ownership for Apple to completely dominate their hardware competitors in a market.

But now you've argued that people are buying Android instead of iPhone just because of social pressure from their peers.
