Polish people are lowest users of iPhones in Europe

  1. I wish more of our society can afford iPhone or other first class models on daily basis but they don’t.

  2. I don’t think there is much point in buying iOS products anyway.

    Racionally speaking, the price-value is ridiculous. Even Samsung does better, and Huawei and Xiaomi are miles ahead of both of them in this regard.

    Sure you can enjoy the OS or the characteristics, but it really comes down to showing off personal wealth. What is the point of buying iOS when you can buy the same or BETTER for half the price OR LESS? I never understood.

  3. It’s a xiaomi country. Maybe if apple didn’t treat us as a third world country it’ll be different but they do.

  4. That’s surprising. Am in my late 20s and most of my friends, past and present, have been using iPhones.

  5. Mainly bc older ppl use nokias and everybody else uses androids.

  6. Yep. When I get blue bubble message it feels almost like an error 🙂

  7. We mostly do not see logical purpose to buy Iphone, for that price they do not offer nothing spectacular. We are conscious consumers at least in this specific matter.

  8. There’s no point whatsoever in buying anything from Apple, if you can have the same or better for 1/3 of the price. It’s that simple. In Poland iPhone is used for show-off mainly.

  9. Because the price it too high with not so great quality. Samsung and Xiaomi are just better

  10. Haven’t read all comments, but one could safely assume that sole factor taken into account in comments is price. No mention of functionality, safety or last but not least aesthetics.
    I for one hated Android design since Material stuff (of course this is one of many reasons I switched to iPhone, excluding showing off – I’m too old for it). The only Android phone that I liked visually was HTC M7 (but it had so crazy poor camera).
    But actually what bothers me is following question: for most of Poles design, power, aesthetics factors are obvious when discussing cars (of course price _being_ one of factors as well). Why your approach is so much different in case of smartphones?

  11. Well, buying iPhones for 150% of their prices in US is just stupid.

  12. I switched to Google pixel about 4 years ago and I will never look back.

  13. I get that you don’t want an iPhone. But please get a Samsung, Asus, LG, Sony or anything else sensible rather than funding CCP by buying Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO or any other clone brand.

  14. That’s a very delicate subject in Poland. Most people in Poland have almost zero financial literacy and if you add iPhones to the discussion it becomes a mess very quickly 😀

    People will write tons of comments about price/value ratios and how other brands are better (to which I agree in most cases, especially in low-mid tier phones) meanwhile most Poles (outside of major cities) have taken a loan to get 50-80 inch screen TV and pay 20-40 Euro per month to watch TVP/TVN and drink beer in front of it.

    I wish people just stop giving a fuck what anybody is using rather than reading autistic screeches of “iPhOnE bAd !!!!1111oneoneshifteleven”.

    Edit:

    This is literally almost the same map as financial literacy in EU:

  15. As some 1 who used both systems and being polish:

    Price is to high to what the phones offers, i like the IOS and i find it to be better for me then Android but for the price of an iPhone i can get 4 mid range androids Phones. I currently use One Plus and it dose all the iphone dose but it cost me 1200 PLN compered to 6500 PLN.

    Iphones in Poland cost about 150% to 200% of AVERAGE polish job income so unless u are rich or its an businesses phone We see little to no point of owning one unless you are trying to show off.

  16. I never liked this brand. Too closed up and the system is centrally controlled by Apple. Not my piece of cake.

  17. The fact that Indonesians with an upside-down flag uses iPhones the most is just hilarious

  18. the biggest disappointment with the phone is the iphone, i intend to return to google pixel.

  19. iPhone as a device is decent but IOS suks big time. Will never get one again.

  20. I’m an iPhone sure since model 6. I’m not changing Apple for anything. Simply love it, no matter the price.

  21. As a Pole living in Sweden I can confirm. Large percent of my Swedish friends have iPhones. While I know no one in Poland who actually uses them.

  22. I think it’s because iPhones are really expensive compared to salaries (in zł) in Poland. Here in US everyone almost have it since you can get it $30/40 a month for two years.

  23. Poland is the land of cheaper chinese smartphones, if the quality is there for much smaller price people just go for it, very expensive brands of anything have it pretty rough here

  24. People in Poland will buy a shitty Chinese phone every year for 1,5k PLN rather than iPhone for 6k every five years.

    I”t’s the same dude, trust me, it’s even better, look I have 64GB of RAM, I just need to flash it every second week. Updates? Yeah, I got the update for the first three months, who would need more?”

  25. Btw don’t buy Xiaomi, this shit has ads in system apps
