85% of South Koreans under 30 surveyed bought an Android device as their first phone; 53% of them now use an iPhone
Curiously, when asked why they initially chose an Android device as their first smartphone, the most common response among survey participants was “recommendation from family or friends.” So, what prompted these youngsters to switch from Android to iPhone? The top reasons cited were “performance” (32%) and “brand image” (31%). In particular, the iPhone’s cameras greatly influenced the satisfaction and expectations of these young Korean consumers.
Examining all age groups in South Korea, over half of those who switched from iPhone to Android mentioned that they were enticed by easy-to-use features like Samsung Pay and the user interface (UI). Strikingly, these same reasons were cited by iPhone users who indicated a willingness to switch to an Android device in the future. Counterpoint Research suggests that Android manufacturers should focus on highlighting user convenience in their television advertisements.
