I have seen exactly 2 iPhones besides my own in use over the last 2 years (not counting display models that sit there). I'm considered way behind the times in my area.
If phone popularity in my area was used to judge the success of the iPhone, you'd think nobody uses Apple iPhones. Only old people use that crap.... oh wait... I guess it's just me, cause even my grandmother uses an Android phone, as well as my mother, my brothers, my sister, all my nephews and nieces, everyone I see daily shopping and at the local university, and even all the teenagers and wow even the children and preteens (spoiled kids).
But, then again, I also only know 2 people who use Macs besides me. Actually, I've only ever personally known four people in my lifetime who have used Macs besides myself.
So.... yeah... Apple isn't exactly rocking the world in my area.
But... on the plus side, there's a good supply of iPhones sitting at the cellular provider that I can get for free if I would be willing to sign for a monthly contract plan. But I don't need a new iPhone, and I'm not committing to a monthly plan.
Locally, iPhones are the freebies with cell plans. You pay extra if you want Android. Which apparently everyone I see is willing to do.
As far as which phone brand specifically seems popular here, it seems predominantly Samsung Phones. They are pretty, and I like the capacity, screen clarity, and photo quality... but I'm apparently the only person I know who's too cheap and stubborn to buy into a new phone. I'll just accept my status as a relic and weird old guy who uses an iPhone. Lol.
