If you're an Android user, and you've been sensing some deep
tensions between yourself and iPhone users, you may not be
imagining it.  According to a new survey conducted by All About
Cookies, some iPhone users "think less" of others represented as
a green bubble while texting, which often depicts Android users.
 
Conversely, a notable number of Android users have considered
switching to iPhone. Not necessarily because they believe that
it's a better device, but because they've felt pressured or
ridiculed into making the change.
 
For this study, All About Cookies surveyed 1,000 anonymous
adults in July 2024 via Pollfish, a market research survey tool.

Wow! A whole 1000 ... what's that, 0.000000000000001% of users?
What a cmoplete waste of time and money. There's absolutely
nothing actually meaningful nor useful in that survey "result".
:-\

 
You've no idea how surveying works. If done correctly 1-2 thousand
ppl is a good sized survey.

 
No it isn't. Statistically it is totally irrelevant.  The
interpretation of these low quality results is simply impossible
because the structure of the chosen sample is unknown (Age, gender,
income, regional aspects etc etc.).

 
Hence why I said "if done correctly". You don't have evidence that
the sampling was done incorrectly.

 
No. That's not how the burden of proof works. The person (or in this
case, the website) making the claim is responsible for proving their
methodology is sound. And absent of that proof, the rest of us are
completely within our right to disregard it as baseless. This really
shouldn't need to be explained to educated adults, but here we are.

You've completely misapplied burden of proof.

This isn't an unsubstantiated claim where burden of proof would apply.
There is proof/evidence here: the result of the survey.

Yes, and I am questioning that this survey is representative of most
or all iPhone users. Without any insight into how the survey was
conducted, there's no evidence it is.

if you want to make an unsubstantiated claim

I haven't done that here.
