CNBC reported that the &#8220;wealthiest Americans&#8221; own 4.7 Apple products per household, while the &#8220;poorest&#8221; have one.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the high-tech circles (like Reddit\u2019s Technology or Android communities), Android and Windows users will argue that their platforms are superior and this is subjective but I disagree as an Apple Fanboy. But, there\u2019s no denying that Android and Windows own the marketshare in the home market (good to exclude business &amp; enterprise because they buy windows PCs by the millions). For many years, I\u2019ve been certain that Windows &amp; Android aren\u2019t dominating market share because they\u2019re better than Apple\u2019s offerings. I think they dominate due to cost. You can buy a Straight Talk phone for $99 that runs Android and if you want an iPhone, it\u2019s a few hundred dollars more.<\/p>\n<p>There are $700 Android phones and $2500 PC Notebooks but if you look at computer sales over $999 or phone sales over $500, Apple is the dominant player with 90%+ market share. Same for mobile phones where Apple has the bulk of the cellular phone profits for the industry. The market share is going to non-Apple companies due to their prices, not the capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The stats are here. The top households own 4.7 Apple devices per family and the poorest have just one. I don\u2019t look at an Android user and immediately assume they make $24,000 a year but I do recognize that users of Android and Windows tend to make less money than Apple users. Now we have stats to back that up. There are a few 6-figures earners using Windows &amp; Android, I won\u2019t deny that but they are the minority. Look at the further stats around teens being shunned because they have green-bubbles in iMessage conversations. Having a non-iOS device immediately makes you an outlier when it comes to your circle of friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via MacRumors: A new survey conducted by CNBC has found that 64 percent of Americans own an Apple&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-10-13T14:49:31Z","apple_news_api_id":"16b552bf-3f20-47d3-b0a8-3b92cbe6937f","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-10-13T14:49:34Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AFrVSvz8gR9OwqDuSy-aTfw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/news-api.apple.com\/sections\/a6dbab72-c794-3987-8514-c419907b32a3"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7120","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1QQ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2551,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/06\/13\/only-50-iphones-have-been-synced-at-least-once\/","url_meta":{"origin":7120,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 &#8220;Only 50% iPhones Have Been Synced At Least Once&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"June 13, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"One FPS: A little birdie says that about 50 percent of Apple Store customers who need to get their iPhones swapped have never plugged them into iTunes after the initial activation and sync.
