Apple's On-Device and Server Foundation Models

Except Apple isn't really for the rest of us. Outside of America and a handful wealthy western countries it's for the top 5-20% earners only.

Maybe the suspicion is the top 5% carry six smartphones?

Yes but not evenly distributed, BeNeLux, Germany, Austria, and Nordic countries have a lot of iPhone users, while moving further east (or south) you see lower market share. Maybe it’s “two handfuls” of wealthy western countries rather than just one, but I think OPs point holds true.

Ah, I stand corrected. Not sure where I found that high number.

Huh interesting, I missed that. You’re right (actually I see even 25.5%).

Poland, Greece, Hungary and Bosnia-Herzegovina are the only ones under 20% (and maybe a few others).

OTOH Britain is over 50% as is Sweden. Finland, the land of Nokia is over 35%.

One average American user is probably worth 5-10 average European users.

Yes. Americans are THE most valuable customer base, y'all use insane amounts of money on mobile crap.

And non-mobile crap. I recently purchased a structure for my backyard on my phone.
