Actually no, Android now wins in large parts of Europe and Asia by web traffic, iOS still slightly ahead in the US and only massively ahead in some outliers like Switzerland. One thing is sure, you can't ignore Android anymore.

I wonder how portion of Android users care about their platform.

Given the cheapness of some of these phones, would not surprise me if many users had low interest in their devices beyond the phone and basic web/app use.


Looking at the user boards and among my circles, many Android user actually seem to care more about their platform - for better or worse. Apple's continuing "thermo nuclear war* seems to spawn a strong anti reaction. Who'd have thought. I just hope enough Apple exes see this, too.


Is there actual research on this?

I can't see this massive Android flood being based largely on OS loyalty.
