02 July 2019
Just 44% of iPhone XR users know what their phone model is while over 70% of Galaxy S9+ users guessed correctly.

    Bearing in mind that America had "Roughly " 330 million population in 2018, I must applaud the people who conducted this survey....After all to survey 165 million people which would equate to "Half of Americans" is feat in itself lol.

    Another pointless survey with probably 10 people asked which reflects as half of the Americans Haha. In all these surveys conducted ask yourself when was the last time you or your family or friends wherever asked to do a survey? I can never recollect anyone as if yet !

                      5G capable? There are few phones that are 5G capable but 5G isn't ready yet. And no need for now. 4G is doing great. And for phone model you can go to settings and find it there. Or look in the box.

                                All the iPhones are identical and receives OS updates every year. So, nothing wrong about not aware about phone model or OS version. Even many of Android users are not aware of name and version no of their OS.

I believe you are trying to refer to the country USA. As far as I know those living in the USA all know where their country is located. Below Canada and above Central & South America on the map. Your response just makes you look stupid to the rest.

                                    They deserves iPhone

                                      What all with these dumb posting? It no surprise that people with iPhones in the majority are not tech savvy. The reason it sells well is as stated hassle free, worry free means you don't need to be tech just to use it, or professionals who want everything done for them without the hassle. While those with android base phone tend to have at least some technical knowledge just to use it. So this survey is comparing non tech to techs, so those with android will definitely will know a lot more about their smartphones, compare to the majority of none techs using Apple.
                                      P.S. The ones that says their phones are 5G are surely none tech or average joes. This survey is basically a joke of knowing their products, they should have noted who their clients are.
