The peak of migration between Android and iPhone occurred in 2016 with 21% of respondents revealing that they had an Android before buying their iPhone. That figure was subject to some fluctuations in the following years, now registering a new peak of preference for the Apple product.

In 2020 and 2021, only 10% switched from Android to iPhone, while in 2022 that number increased slightly to 11%. In fact, the post-pandemic period increased the number of new users of this product, allowing Apple one of its best sales periods.

The same report shows that by March 2023, 83% of iPhone users have switched to a new Apple smartphone. In other words, iOS loyalty is impressive numbers, which is not surprising in a market with a clear preference for national products.

Curiously, this exodus of Android users occurs at a time when the average sale price of an iPhone exceeds €1,000. In other words, not even the inflation that plagued Apple devices made the preference and desire for them fade.
