This is also global, not even US data; iPhones are phenomenally more popular over there than anywhere else as far as I know. This is also one of the reasons some seriously begin to believe Android would be a “poor man’s phone”.
They’re more often subsidized by carriers here (in the US), too. I didn’t really want an iPhone, but $400 new for a Plus, with a plan discount, just makes an Android set not worth it.

At that point I would start questioning why that particular phone is subsidized so much. Seems sus.
Excess carrier inventory they can write off as a loss since the Plus didn’t sell as well, or so I was told.
It gets even worse if you separate users by age groups. Younger people overwhelmingly go for iPhones.
