I think the parent comment was referring to messaging, ie iMessage vs the others. Ie, in Taiwan and Japan the dominant solution is Line, not iMessage or SMS.

In the UK at least in practice it means you text (whether iMessage or not) with companies/builders, but otherwise use WhatsApp. Especially with groups.

That's kind of depressing honestly.

Also surprising as I always thought Android was more popular because there is more variety and cheaper options.

I mean with the iPhone SE starting at $429 new Apple has a lot of price brackets covered.

With every princelet or otherwise rich folk in the world using Apple, does it matter?

It's still a race war, apple (rich folk) vs. everyone else. Some middle ground probably, but not much - apple folks are obviously the richer targets.

I know who to target with spyware and otherwise get rich quick schemes, ransomware, kidnapping, almost any other major crimes. The best demographic with 1200 to spend on a phone.

> It's still a race war, apple (rich folk)

It's not a "race war" if you need to clarify that apple <=> "rich folk". I might give you "class war", except there is no "war" part and no need to include it.
