Lol. Look up some statistics. Quest has a 75% market share, Facebook has more than 2 billion users, and there are more than 1 billion iPhone users.


Does that mean that every strong economy should follow these trends? iPhone were as popular as 60% of all sold phones here some years ago, and yet facetime & iMessage did never really get any relevance because of the other 40%. No circle of friends is generally iPhone only, never was.

Switzerland may is different, but also representative of a wealthy kinda smart economy.


What does kinda smart economy mean?

I don’t know where your first question comes from. Myself and this other parent are merely saying the stats say differently. Nothing about your first question.

I FaceTime with someone in Switzerland. It doesn’t mean much. I know Apple’s ecosystem isn’t big in Europe. However, when I interact with people across the ocean, they have a pretty easy time using Apples FaceTime if they are on iOS. Sometimes even if just iPad.

In this situation I’m the one pushing friendships more. Otherwise it would be douchey to have someone pull out an iPad just to FaceTime with you.

Sorry if any of my messages seem confrontational. Sometimes I’m upset with my own life and don’t speak as nicely as I should.

A lot of my thoughts come from the small organic free virtual coworking community i cofounded (in my bio :o). Before that, my experience with talking to Europeans on a near daily basis had never been there.
