Yeah, but apple devices are affordable for 0.1% of Indians.

Also, Android is not to be blamed here. The openness is why privacy-minded people can use F-Droid.



As someone in Kenya pointed out to me once, I asked someone (at Safaricom, their biggest tech company) why Kenyans seemed to prefer Android. He laughed and said: We don't prefer Android, it's what we can afford. I suppose coming from my first world bubble of friends of family it's reality check.

Fair enough. But my comment was directed more just in general due to Epic v. Apple.
