It wouldn’t be too crazy to say that EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre probably has an Android mobile, and it’s quite possible that it doesn’t think about changing platforms; but the average user is another story. Despite the great advances in Android obtained by Google in recent years, The iPhone is still the mobile that most people want to haveboth in Europe and in the rest of the world.
A recent report from CIRP He claims that Android users are more envious of iPhone users than the other way around. It is based on a “loyalty index”, which measures the percentage of people who would rather stay with the system they’re using than switch to the competition. And the results are interesting, even though the study was only done in the United States.
According to the study, 15% of new iPhone buyers previously owned Android; while only 4% of Android mobile buyers previously owned an iPhone. With these data, you would think that Apple won, and that it is no longer worth it for Google or the manufacturers to continue fighting. But there is another perhaps more interesting fact.
Switching from Android to iPhone, the dream of many
The study also revealed that 91% of Android users prefer to stay on Android; while 94% of iPhone users prefer to stay on the Apple platform. Therefore, 9% of those who have an Android mobile actually want an iPhone, which was not purchased for some reason; because you can’t afford it or because of other factors. We must remember that human beings are creatures of habit and it is very difficult to convince someone to change what works for them. this is the reason behind such high loyalty percentages.
The main reason why the iPhone doesn’t sell more is in the price; but ironically, it’s also one of the reasons he’s so sought after. Apple made it happen the iPhone is more than a mobile, which has become an object to show off, such as a luxury watch or a car. But it failed miserably every time it tried to grow by lowering the price of its products (like, for example, with the iPhone Mini).

Does this mean that Android users are just poor people who can’t afford anything “better”? Quite the contrary. It also doesn’t mean that whoever buys an iPhone doesn’t care about the mobile and just wants it to show off. The reality, as usual, is far from these extremes.
The truth is that Android still has a lot to improve, especially when it comes to having a consistent and simple platform. Anyone who buys an iPhone knows with absolute certainty that they can buy an Apple Watch, an iPad, a MacBook and an Apple TV, and everything will run like silk. Simple and easy, without even having to open a page like this to find out what’s going on: just walk into an Apple Store and buy what’s there. With an Android, this is also possible, but it requires more work; You must be sure of what you are buying and not rely on any offer.
The good news is that Android already has the solution, and it’s called pixels. It’s no secret that Google is following in Apple’s footsteps, with a Pixel Watch, Pixel Tablet, Google TV and Android Auto all interconnected and compatible with each other. And the best thing is that it achieves this at the same time as it allows there to be competition on its platform.
