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.

 
Apple sold 2.5 BILLION iPhones (as of 2023, so not counting 2024),
and you are trying to tell us that a survey of 1000 people is
significant?  Quick question: How many times do you think 1000 goes
into 2.5 billion?

 
You're doing a numerical comparison not a statistical one.

 
A meaningless distinction since we know nothing at all about the
methodology used in this survey.

It's not meaningless.
