About a fifth of Android phone owners plan to switch to an iPhone
JustSomeGuy1 said:Leaving aside the question of accuracy, interpreting this study comes down to basic math. It says that 30% of iphone users are LEAVING the platform. If 20% of android users are leaving android (and ignoring meaningless BB and MS options), the net flow of users depends on the proportion of the market each already has. It's simple algebra. To find the tipping point where net flow is even, solve these simultaneous equations.
a=fraction of market using android
i=fraction of market using ios
a + i = 1 (they own the whole market, basically) so a = 1 - i
.3i = .2a (this is the point where ios and android loss would be even) so
i = .2/.3 a = .666a
Combining the two,
i = .666a = .666 (1 - i) = .666 - .666i
1.666i = .666 ... i = .666/1.666 = .3997 but taking into account rounding, .4 ... which makes intuitive sense.
This means, as long as Apple has <40% of overall marketshare, these are winning numbers for Apple. At 41% or more, it's losing.
So the big question now is, in which country(ies) was that survey taken? In the US/Canada/Japan it would spell disaster. Most other places it would be a big win. -
