All the iPhone users can afford OnlyFans.
jokes aside it's probably because of US states banning porn sites, and Apple makes up for like 80% of US phones
Yeah, except the states dumb enough to ban porn only have like 1% of the US population.
That's not true. Texas is the largest state to be affected by the pornhub ban, and Texas makes up 9% of the US population. Including all ~~12~~ 16 of the states with pornhub restrictions, the total is actually 24% of the US population. Those are big enough numbers to swing stats.
Now you have to consider which users are more likely to know how to use a VPN on their system and realize that a lot of traffic is being re-routed through other states and countries.
Where are you getting 12 from? I'm seeing 8.
You're correct, though. As far as I can tell, nearly a quarter of all Americans are geographically blocked from Pornhub (unless they use a VPN).
My source was a map posted to Reddit in July 2024. However after doing more research, Wikipedia reports it is now actually 16 states.
Emphasis mine:
Maybe those guys watched a lot of porn last year?
I ran this through an AI, so take it with a grain of salt... But the percentage is actually, ostensibly, 24.6%.
That's more then enough to explain the descrepencies in the data.
Edit: The work ChatGPT showed, in case this is wrong.
Texas: 30.5 million
Florida: 22.6 million
Virginia: 8.7 million
Indiana: 6.8 million
Louisiana: 4.6 million
Mississippi: 2.9 million
Arkansas: 3.0 million
Utah: 3.4 million
Total population = 82.5 million
The total U.S. population is approximately 335 million.
You're way off. In November 2024 iOS only made up 56% of the current market share. In October, android and iOS nearly achieved parity with one another.

Worldwide, Android holds 71% of the market share. I wonder if this will change if and when Chinese companies gain traction with their own alternative OS's, though.
How? Id imagine they broke after purchasing their $900 monitor stand
Or iphone users are only a small percentage of phone users?
This graph isn't US-centric and Android is a lot more popular in the world. The US is the skewed one here.
