Not surprised Apple's market share is improving.

I bought a Pixel 10 and Google's software quality control is laughable. Ridiculously simple things just don't work properly. For instance Google has broken Bluetooth for some common devices, USB won't connect at all to some computers, and audio players are killed to save battery even when the phone is plugged in.

Never thought I'd consider an Apple but an Iphone my will be my next purchase.

Surprised it's not less seeing as there is no reason to upgrade phones more than once every 5 years anymore.

Makes sense. Apple's customers are a lot less price-sensitive. And also, memory and storage are naturally a much larger part is the price in a $150 smartphone than in a $1000 one. Apple doesn't do the $150 class at all.

You see that kind of smartphone a lot here in Spain where purchasing power is a lot lower than in the US. Still a lot of people using things like wired headphones too.
