Young people in Korea have switched over to iphones. iphone have like 60% marketshare now for that demographic
Imagine actually using an iPhone
Firstly, it's a joke, secondly, it's more about OS and user experience and not brand loyalty. The fact that you don't know that is a tell tale sign
Most of the western world doesn't have to imagine
Dunno if you’re taking the piss but they’re not that bad. Have an iPhone mini 13 I bought for €450 2nd hand with 100% battery health. Decent upgrade from an Xperia XZ1 compact. Needed a pocketable phone & the Asus Zenfone was too expensive.
Have to say, having the call audio levels, proximity sensor & speakers properly tuned to the hardware, software/security updates without having to run a non-official build of Lineage OS and AltStore-Linux for side-loading has been sweet.
I have for about a decade. I use my phone as my backup map when I am flying. It has to work, every time, without fail. I've never owned an android that could hold a candle to an iPhone for software stability.
Do you have any sources for this? Afaik Samsung phones are still massively popular with young people in Korea.
not too hard to google. https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/07/24/samsungs-galaxy-is-about-to-have-a-generational-iphone-problem-in-south-korea/amp/
