America is an insanely rich country, as are their populus. It’s lost on us here in the West. Through the release of the first iPhone to the mid 2015s I’d wager that most consumers agreed that iPhones were superior to Android by most metrics: they featured more support across the board, had more apps, looked nicer, and were considered the premium. Apple invented the modern smartphone and had a headstart in getting users hooked into their ecosystem. Nowhere was thisnmore pronounced than in the wealthiest country in the world (and Apple’s home country).

That’s a huge generalization but I think it resonantes true to a degree. Also, anecdotally, I remember that all my school computers were Macs when growing up. I’m sure Apple seaped it way into people’s live a variety of ways. As a lifelong Windows user I’ll have a panic attack if you make me print a document on a Mac; I’m sure its the same vice versa lol
