fne8w2ahYoung Koreans favor iPhones over Samsung Galaxy: survey
Young Koreans favor whatever is new and cool from year to year. One year I was there everyone had iDevices, a couple years later it was Samsungs. Trendiness with electronics is a big thing.
I think a lot of people don’t see how fashion is interlinked with tech, and has been for at least 20-25 years. Or at least how people treat buying tech in a similar way to following fashion trends.
Yeah, although to some extent stuff like app-store lock-in does restrict easily jumping from one ecosphere to another.
If one is an Android user, there is at least some flexibility in switching between different phone vendors and styles, but in many places Samsung is pretty dominant, while others like LG have dropped out of the game entirely.
