Those penetration numbers on services seem way out line. Applecare at 3% but iCloud storage paid 45%+. Apple News at 15%.
I know many people with AppleCare but only a few that pay for iCloud Storage and don't know anyone that uses News (woat product).

The only thing not to love is it's a little bigger than the 6/7/8. Make an iPhone XR mini that's the size of the 6/7/8 and I'd be all over that.
Nothing at all surprising in the iPhone market share data.
Apple News uptake at 5x that of AppleCare on iPhones surprises me.

I bought an XR yesterday and it already had the wireless data migration feature. Setup was remarkably easy. Given the price comparison with the XS models, you can see why it's popular.
The 2019 iPhone XR with dual cameras, better antennas and A13 will be a juggernaut.
It was sarcasm since most said it wouldn’t sell since the screen was “inferior.”
I have made a deliberate choice to not buy too deeply into the Apple ecosystem, because it makes it financially easier to leave if needed. Sure I have lots of purchased Apps for my Mac, but those I have bought have been direct from the software authors and most have Windows/Linux versions.
Music/Videos I have physical CDs/DVDs , no removal of licence crap here
The number of Apps I use regularly on my IOS devices is less than 10, not a great investment, so easy to abandon.
Bought a RaspberryPi 3B+ to learn about Linux on and will be dual booting my Macs soon too.
The ONLY thing stopping me from jumping into Android for my phone is I do not trust Google etc to not spy on me, track me, etc. So I am keeping my SE until it actually dies and reassess my options then, iPhones are just too expensive I am NOT going to spend that kind of money on a phone. Given that 99% of my "phone" is as a phone or txt I will probably get a dub phone and to hell with the Apps.

The 2020 5.4” model will be a little narrower and about 1/4” less in height than the 6/7/8. But it’ll be priced at $999-ish if it’s still in the same feature tier as the 6.7” Max model.
With all three 2020 models rumored to be OLED, it seems like 5G and the rear camera will be the major differentiators between the top-tier 5.4/6.7” models and the more affordable 6.1” XR.
Which demographic are you talking about exactly? - People need to remember people of ALL ages use iPhones.
I’d say Google is also thrilled with your Dad’s info! Apple protect my info and keep it mine, Android/Google do not....
XR is a great phone.
the bar chart in the article is very interesting and well done.
the total of 4 phones released before the X (namely 7, 7+, 8, 8+) account for 32% of sales in 2019.
thats the real story.
yes, XR is a great phone.
but the chart is also saying that the two model years of X-XS failed big.
the X itself was even discontinued entirely- not even available for sale. a one year wonder, vs. the multi-year continuation of 7 - 8 four models.
the data be interpreted to mean that apple is willing to take risks to push its version of the future (X / XS) forward, but at the same time readies a fail-safe option (XR)

I'd say you're better off enjoying your devices to the full extent and not worry about it...
No matter what OS or platform you are on there will be a switching cost if you ever decide to switch. That's the nature of Operating Systems and always will be... Utilize the tools you've paid so much for to their fullest extent and switch if, and when, it makes sense to do so. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
How does it work? WiFi ? Does it need to be on the same WiFi Network ? Or does it work with WiFi Direct ( Which isn't widely used at all )
You and I obviously frequent different youtube channels. All of the one's I watch emphatically state the XR is the iPhone most people should buy. I agreed. It's the best bang for the buck. Last year in Sept. I said the XR would be the phone I'm getting for my girls this year. By the time the 11's are intro'd, the XR is going to be priced even better.
Just goes to show the gulf between tech pundits’ “conventional wisdom” and what the real world wants.
The more tech savvy crowd might want to bear this in mind when criticising any move Apple makes in the future.

It is not the hardware that keeps me away from Android. It is Android and Google.
