The percentage of Android users that switched to iOS decreased in 2023, but the five-year trend is steady.

  • A report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) found that 13% of iPhone buyers switched from Android to iOS in 2023.
  • The number is a decrease from the prior year's figure, which saw 15% of iPhone buyers come from an Android phone.
  • However, over a five-year period, iPhone buyers are coming from Android phones at a steady 11-15% clip.

Get a used Pixel and install either LineageOS, GraphenOS or CalyxOS. If you don't want a Pixel, LineageOS supports other devices so you can buy any of those models used as well. Apple, Samsung or whoever can't take us down!

It has been a few years since I checked but I remember manufacturers were really stingy about firmware updates. Is that still an issue?
