Could Samsung please get rid of Bixby? Like Microsoft’s Clippy but less cute
and more annoying. I would pay extra to NOT have Bixby. Doesn’t help there’s
a dedicated button that’s easy to accidentally press and summon Bixby, kind of
like Beetlejuice.

Old stories and falsehoods.
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

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.

That's surprising, I wouldn't have guessed that IOS was more popular than
Android in the US. I would've guessed it was closer to 60/40 the other way.

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.

Still don't know about the demographics.

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?
