What you need to know
- Research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners has released a new report on smartphone brand loyalty.
- The research found that over 90% of iPhone customers are still loyal to Apple.
- Android also still experiences around 90% operating system loyalty.
It looks like loyalty in the smartphone market still remains high overall.
According to new data from research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (via 9to5Mac), over 90% of iPhone users are still loyal to Apple's smartphone in the third quarter of 2021.
The report goes on to say that the iPhone has accounted for 43% of smartphone sales in the United States over the last three years. Samsung, which is in second place, accounted for 31% of sales.
It's always been difficult for Apple to steal Android customers and vice versa and it appears that this year is no different.
Bottom line: The iPhone 13 is the best iPhone for most people, with impressive new cameras and notable improvements to battery life. Without all the bells and whistles of the Pro line, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are still powerhouses that'll keep owners happy for years to come.
