So they’re at 27% market share globally (and are the most popular brand globally, though several trail closely). There are over 7 billion smartphone users in the world, so nearly 2 billion iPhone users. There are under 400 million Americans. Meaning if you pick a random iPhone user out of the 2 billion, there’s an 80% chance it’s not an American.
In what universe does “iPhone user, therefore probably American” make sense?

With global market share being 27%. and the United States being specifically more than 50% and being the largest place that there’s market saturation of that high.
Then you consider that the entirety of the iPhone conversation is in English. You can negate out the largest populist countries that would have iPhone.
Lastly, the context of the conversation is shitty work conditions, so you’re taking a primarily English-speaking country and then, once again, increasing the chances of the United States.
With all of that information and the fact that the United States has a 50 plus percent chance of iPhone usage, which is a higher percentage than any other singular nation’s populace, you get they are likely in the United States of America.
Statistics are fun.
