If you get pure Android (lots of choices; just none of them are
"Samsung").
Updates are regular and seamless, backup/restore is also easy;
almost transparent.
Pure Android is the same everywhere.

Android is too segmented. An app works on one
device but not another. One vendor provides software updates,
another decides they are going to stop updating.
Samsung and many others throw so much crap on
Android it’s not even like Android.
Backup and restore is not seamless on Android. On
iPhone a backup back everything, not so on android.
Different vendors of android have different ways to
get into programs and settings. Apple it’s always the same.
Our house is 100% Android. I have a Chromebook, which runs
android apps in a VM, and it makes a pretty decent tablet
when I convert it to tablet mode. I do have a 9-year-old
ipod, but I don't think that counts; don't really use it
anyway. Most of my friends have Android, and very few have
Samsungs; which are Android by name, but not by function.

Between the wife and I we have 7 devices.
Of which we each have an android and iOS phone. She has
an android tablet, I have an iPad and an Amazon Fire
tablet. Based on what I see my clients have iOS is well
in the lead. Those that do have android have Samsung’s.
Tablets are 90% iOS.

OK. I had the worldwide ratio pretty
close, but I had no clue about the US.
In the US it's pretty much 60:40 in
favor of IOS. In the rest of the world
it's all over the map. India is 90:10
in favor of Android, while Canada
looks close to 50:50.
Does anyone
know the relative market share of
iPhones/iPads vs Android devices?
And what are the demographics
behind who tends to have each
type?
My expectation
was that Android probably outsells
Apple by at least 2:1 and maybe
3:1. Also that the demographics
would favor more Apple devices in
cities and suburbs, and Android in
small towns and rural areas.
Partially because of the
stereotype of an Apple customer,
partially because of price, but
also just the fact that there are
no Apple stores in rural areas.
My area is
mostly rural, yet when I see what
devices have DHCP leases on
customer routers, most of the time
there are all these iPhones and
iPads.
I’m trying to
figure out the demographics, but
the only thing I’ve noticed is
that from the DHCP hostnames like
Marys-Iphone and Susans-iPad, a
lot of them tend to be female.
Still, the whole household tends
to have the same brand of phone.
I assume one of the parents goes
to the AT&T or Verizon store
and gets 5 phones and a family
share plan and everybody gets the
same brand of phone.
Does Apple
really have bigger market share
than Samsung and all the other
Android phone makers put
together? Or am I wrong and rural
areas actually tend to be Apple
country?
