>Japan's smartphone market was once said to be dominated by the iPhone , making it a unique market even on a global scale. However, recent research has revealed that Android has overtaken iPhone in terms of market share by operating system, indicating that the tide is turning in the market.>According to the "September 2025 Smartphone OS Share Survey" published by MMD Research Institute in October 2025, the usage rate of main smartphones was reported to be 48.3% for iPhone and 51.4% for Android.Rising prices lead to iPhone abandonment>A major factor accelerating the decline in iPhone ownership is its rising price. Due to the weak yen, the price of each new iPhone model continues to rise. In a survey conducted by Selectra Japan, more than 40% of iPhone users responded that they would be unsure or considering switching to Android if iPhone prices were to rise further in the future.https://sumaholife-plus.jp/smartphone/48848/
>>61446905they're expensive as fuck and the new pro max is ugly as fuck too and the UI turned into slop

iphones are unusable trash, I wouldn't take one for free
>>61447004This. I switched from iPhone after 10 years of use. The iPhone is legitimately trash. There is no defending it
>>61446905>noooo i need to spend $1200 USD on a phone with a 5" screen every 1-2 years
>>61446905Why even care. iPhone is an inferior product geared towards gullible fools - the kind to waste their money on Starbucks, branded trashy sportswear, plastic dolls, tattoos, etc.
>>61446905Maybe they shouldn't have moved all manufacturing to India.
>>61446905Degoogled privacy androids are the only answer for owning a phone. All other answers are psyops from the surveillance state.
>>61447478all phones feature unremovable Israeli spyware. and that is a good thing
>>614474783310, 3315, 3330 or 8210.
>>61446905Thats a chink
>>61446905all according to the plan. what did you expect when ai is replacing all the jobs and people can't just throw 1k+ down the drain
>>61447953cope
>>61446945I've noticed a lot less posts like this since USAID was cut
>>61448021you can literally see Chinese commie blocks outside her window
>>61446905Yeah apple pushed the price way too hard. There's been 0 innovation and each new iMeme seems like a sidegrade.I can't even see ultra normie white women falling for this garbage scam much longer.
Man lots of seething poorfags on /biz/
New iPhone is going to be made by disgusting poojeets btw.Not buying solely because of this information.
>>61446905>Title says Japanese can no longer buy IPhones>Paragraph posted proves that's no true at all and it's just Apple losing market share to its competitorWhy are you a retarded nigger OP?
>>61446905Apple needs to bring the iPhone mini. I really don’t give af about innovation or gimmicks like foldable phones. Just a small smartphone that isn’t bloated and that syncs with my other products. Never switching to Android because the Apple ecosystem works flawlessly for my needs. Plus they will actually protect your data and privacy unlike chink phones.
>>61448273You don't get it, bro. 48% vs 51% market share is death. Apple is so over!
>>61446905>it's due to rising pricei thought it'd be because it's a chinese phone and china wants to genocide the japanese
>come home rice man
>>61449240fuakr forgot pic
>>61447478correct
>>61448103Proven to mainly be Indians that post that shit
>>61448290>Plus they will actually protect your dataChuckle
>>61446909All the android UI's look like iphone. Found the jeet you're not fooling anyone.
When I went to Japan last year everybody still had either an iPhone 4 or 5, they really don't give a fuck about phones
>>61446945go die slowly in a fire
why doesn't japan innovate technology anymore?
>>61446909>>61450587So I upgraded from S23 ultra to Fold7. Its actually pretty fucking cool.Jap gooks love their iphone slop and it costs more there. Probably more to do with hating Koreans and Asian rivalry.Weirdly, i cant post with my S23 anymore but my Fold I can.
>>61446905iPhones are overpriced trash. Instead, own used trash directly at a resonable price.
>>61446945Big Bulky Cellphones
>>61446905good
>>61450650Holy blessed traditional family businesses. Fuck modernity.
>>61446905>people finally realizing the apple products are all just marketing and they're literally just glowie surveillance devices.Lol ,lmao even.
>>61450600Kind of not surprised. I think they've less of the Western wasteful consumption/attract people that hate you mindset and values. If it still works and does everything you need it to do, why upgrade.
phones get shittier every year, I hate them all almost equally, the only thing separating iphone from samsung for me is that the iphone is supported marginally longer and has a marginally higher resale value. they are such shit holy fucking shit i hate this timeline..
>>61446945yeah, BUILT for my Big Balkan Cock
>>61448188the bimbos are still buying because of payment plans. in no world do they have the spare cash to buy it in full.
>>61448273They can't buy them because they're too expensive. Hence the declining market share.
>>61446945post nose
This is the what trad wife should look like!
>>61448290I specifically seek Chinese phones to protect my privacy, you wouldn't get it unless you have sufficient IQ
>>61453802excessive make up and whore nails?
