“One in three of every new iPhone sold in Europe has gone to someone who has ditched an Android smartphone to join the iOS club. This is a significant number,” Dan Worth reports for V3. “It’s lower in the UK, but not by much, at one in four.”

“The figures, from Kantar Worldpanel, have got the industry intrigued as it shows what many thought could happen once Apple released its newest, and biggest, iPhones to date – they’re stealing Android users,” Worth reports. “The bigger screens may be the obvious reason, but V3 has considered other factors that could be enticing those used to Google’s operating system and devices from the likes of Samsung, LG and Sony finally to embrace Apple and the iPhone.”


Top 10 reasons Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are winning over Android users:
10. Better synchronisation with other Apple products
9. Price for top-end phones is now about the same
8. Joining the flock; so they’re ‘not left behind’
7. Better software release schedules
6. Better support service from Apple
5. iOS given priority for app support
4. Business appeal
3. Apple Watch support
2. High-quality design (and available in gold)
1. Bigger screens are better
