So why then do Apples own distribution figures for the European market not back up your completely anecdotal observation?
Got a tip for us?

Two separate posters have now debunked your assertion yet you still cannot acknowledge your error. What's that all about?
Distributions in what figure? you mean users upgrading to iPhone 6 to 6S? obviously not. Those figures which you haven't even posted are not even taken into context.
Hell i can write statistical figures why Kyle Krover is the the best 3pt shooter of all time over reggie, curry, and others if i don't take things into context.
Have fun brother, have you been anywhere else besides the UK? My circle of European friends are clients, acquaintances and such. I travel for my business, i guess its some what of a blessing but I'm speaking on 10 years of traveling across the globe, with reading articles and statistics on my free time when I'm waiting for a flight, trains, or what not.
LOL, saying that anyone would want a Xaomi or a Huawei over an iPhone is saying i want a Civic over a 800 series BMW.
This is including the OS and ecosystem it comes with. Tell me have you been to China? how often? what cities? What Tier cities have you been to? I've been to the smallest villages to the metropolises.
You say people wanting the iPhone more than Android is not 'just speculation' then a few words further on in the same sentence that's exactly what you are doing i.e. 'speculating' with the phrase and if they do they most likely want an iPhone.
BTW Apple are not the favourites of Europe either or if you know different please provide source for your assertion.

Hmm! interesting take you have on the Pixel being a HTC. Let's flesh out your argument a little. Can we therefore call the iPhone a Foxconn phone running on iOS with an Apple logo?
Google didn't make this, just like the nexus before it, they have others do the hardware (normally shoddily, nexus 7) and they do the android build.
???, My posts pretty much explains the whole Android inflated numbers because of the cheaper devices. EU has always paid the full price of iOS devices. Barring some occasions with couple carriers that offered a $200 dollar base device with some sort of contract.
If those statistics were by brand and model it would be different.
Picked up my Google Pixel XL yesterday morning. I love the phone so far. So nice to have a smooth non-lag experience that most other Android phones lack. But overall pretty much Google's iPhone.
I must say the Google Assistant is pretty amazing. It's just too bad its still generally embarrassing to use a voice assistant in public.

What a bizarre post. Too much travelling perhaps, jet lag maybe.
How can figures I haven't posted be incorrect or taken out of context? [doublepost=1477087891][/doublepost]
Your lack of knowledge regarding the Google roadmap shines through like a beacon. Industry insiders have reported on this many times. Google had only a small amount of input into their Nexus line of phones. The manufacturers had total control of design and build etc. The Pixel is Google's phone from the ground up with HTC making the phone for Google to Google's specification.
In the same way Apple don't make the iPhone, Foxconn do, to Apple's design and specification.
The iPhone 7 matches or breaks new Smartphone display performance records for:
• The Highest Absolute Color Accuracy for any display (1.1 JNCD) – Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect
• The Highest Absolute Luminance Accuracy for any display (±2%) – Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect
• Very Accurate Image Contrast and Intensity Scale (with Gamma 2.21) – Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect
• The Highest Peak Brightness Smartphone for any Average Picture Level APL (602 to 705 nits)
• The Lowest Screen Reflectance for any Smartphone display (4.4 percent)
• The Highest Contrast Rating in High Ambient Light for a Smartphone for any APL (137 to 160)
• The Smallest Color variation with Viewing Angle (2.1 JNCD or less)
Yup sounds like displymate crowned a new champ for most accurate displays.
Why does Gmail on iOS suck? I have used it on iPhone and find it works incredibly well as do most other Google apps. Perhaps that's why so many iPhone owners use Google apps on their phone.

I find Outlook and Apple Maps better replacements.
Just recently replaced Google maps for Apple maps after iOS10. In Gmaps I still miss the lane indicators and better at locating businesses, but overall Amaps seems more fluid and accurate(gps wise), and better use of space on the 7 plus in horizontal mode.
I still use gmaps sometimes for bike directions too.

You are so right my friend, why would you want to continually improve your product when you could have the same awesome grid of icons for 10 years!!
You're the only person I ever heard/read, including many many reviews that has said they prefer Apple Maps to Google Maps. Well Apple did say Apple Maps have fans, now whose the other one?

Apple Maps used to suck. Now it's competitive.
I'm really not interested in this phone. I'll admit that I'm not a fan of stock android but I'd still pick a Samsung galaxy phone (even after the note 7) and even an LG phone before I'd pick this. It's bland and too expensive for nothing to boot.
Why would I buy this when I can buy a Samsung phone which will be water resistant, have wireless charging, have micro SD card support, have a better display and a better camera. It will also have all the bells and whistles of touch wiz.

Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself. You're also the first person I've ever heard who prefers TouchWiz to stock Android. You'll be lucky if that statement doesn't go viral.

Samsung owners worldwide sweat blood over trying to ditch TouchWiz. I used to have a Galaxy, all the bloat, shocking. Granted it's not as heavy handed as it used to be but still not good. You wouldn't invest in MacOs and have another skin of bloat lade over it would you, and I'm sure you wouldn't put up with it in Windows either. Why then should we have to put up with it on a smartphone?
Are you trying to tell me that my own personal opinion about something that I use on a daily basis is wrong. You sir are about as arrogant a poster on here that I have ever come accross. My wife has a nexus 7, it's rubbish.
And your first comment, hyperbole much???
You don't like it, we get it. Judging by the millions and millions of repeat customers that Samsung get, you are maybe in a minority..
