interesting neither did I. Globally its still 25% however.
But for the purposes of US antitrust and anti-competetive concerns, why does "global" matter?
Humans are humans, anti-competitive behaviour spreads quickly from country to country. If you get too late preparing for the legal action, the anti-competitive behaviour may well spread without competition enforcement noticing.
IPhone is expensive, who can spend 1000 euro on a damn phone? Not many even here in Europe. Americans have tons of disposable money, see wealthier and in general like ti consume.
Lol most people don't have the latest iPhone you can get an older one for a couple hundred at walmart (same a mid level android)
Postpaid service is around $1000 per year, so why not get a $1000 phone to go with it?
I’m using a 5GB/month, unlimited calls (EU), unlimited SMS (EU) plan for 8€/month, so 96€/year.
Even buying e.g. a Pixel several years after release at 270€, the phone is definitely the most expensive part.
My iPhone (SE) cost $400. The iPhone 11 is $699. Competitive hardware on the Android side is trending more expensive from brands like Samsung.
Competition for SE is the Pixel A line, $350.
That hardware is hardly competitive.
CPU is slower, camera is better? I don't know why it wouldn't be.
