They get the phone of their choice.
At 600€-800€, I had so many choices from Android... Xperia 5 II, S20 FE, Mi 10t pro, etc.
With iOS, I had only one with iPhone 12 in that price segment.
I chose the phone which will age gracefully having all the latest tech, not getting outdated within a few years like iPhone 12 with 60hz, 20W charging, restrictive iOS, etc.
FYI... I was using iPhone 11 before upgrading.

It could very well happen that tons of iOS users switched to Android and an equal number of people went back to iOS with new features introduced, thereby nullifying the numbers.

Anonymous, 29 Jul 2021Should we take his word? CEOs keep blabbering lies to make ... moreI agree, Android is much more evolved. Last time I used Android was in year 2011, before switching to my current daily driver in the form of Galaxy S21 plus (Snapdragon)
With iOS, there is only one manufacturer at play, one manufacturer responsible for all the new hardware and software you might get.
On Android, The different manufacturers have each brought different things to the table over the years.
Over a decade, these different hardware and software features have coagulated, thereby giving rise into an operating system that is more robust, feature-rich, advanced and functional than iOS. iOS just leaves you wanting more...
Best part is that If I don't like a particular thing about a particular phone, you have all the options in the world. I can always switch to another flagship Android smartphone. This was a distant dream for many inside the iOS ecosystem as there is no choice at all. Buy it or wait for next year... I waited for too long, but happy.. that I finally made the switch.

I got tired of the bugs on iOS which needed constant fixing every time a new version was launched.
Why would you want unnecessary updates when everything is working fine? The whole five year update system is overrated and brings nothing new. Android is a maintenance free OS in comparison.

Because let’s face it, very few buy Android phone because Android, they buy it because it’s only option for them."
Very few people buy iPhone for iOS, they buy for logo as their favorite celebrity bought it without knowing what to expect. And when you don't get something new..Just wait until next year.. Keep waiting for 5-10 years just to get basic things which are already available on budget Android phones.

Plenty of features still not available. IOS is still too kicked and restrictive for the average user.

It's not surprising as Apple is adding festures Android users been using like widgets and so on. Now they can have them with iPhone too so it's no-brainer. Also with iPhone 13 120hz screen there will be even more Android switchers. Reasons for getting Android phone over iPhone are getting very small and it shows in iPhone sales just like this quarter shows, massive iPhone sales.

I doubt that is the case, as after almost a decade later, I have switched to my first Android phone as a daily driver. I know several others who have switched from iPhone to Android flagships in the past couple of years.
I'd rate Android as a more evolved ecosystem.
I'm using miui 12.5 on my Mi 11 Ultra. With the familiar control center and other things, one starts to wonder why iOS never evolved into something like miui? All that potential going to waste.
Miui might have started off by copying off iOS home screen icon style layout, but it has actually used the power of android to deliver an operating system that I doubt iOS can ever come close to.

Speaking as someone who quite enjoys Apple and it’s products I don’t enjoy quite the same freedom to say what I like on this site as others it’s seems.
So I’ll say only this, it’s not my free market dude, it’s just the free market. Where people can make their own purchasing decisions for their own reasons.

Your problem is your assuming the reason people make those decisions, and your generalising your conclusions based on nothing more than your own bias.
You can carry on doing that all you want, but your opinion is going to be next to worthless so long as you do.

The thing is, I just don't want to. Firstly, I don't see the need for a folding device and secondly, I just wouldn't want to because of its fragile soft folding display. It's cool technologically, but I just wouldn't want it from practical reasons. The same reason I didn't buy an Xs at the time and opted for the XR. I just didn't care about the OLED display or telephoto camera, I just wanted iOS.
