I’m not colorblind and I find this a PITA to read.
Lol I just wanted to comment that. Not blind, just hard to see but I gave up after10sec trying to decipher. It’s just such a bad diagram
Sorry, but I couldn’t find 12 distinct colours that all lie on the blue - yellow spectrum.
Why are you sticking with a specific spectrum? You made it hard to read in service of a requirement that doesn’t make any sense.
Are we supposed to stop using colours because clourblind people exist?
yes, please.
No. We are supposed to not exclude them by conveying information through other means than exclusively colour.
Who chose this color scheme? Is that what being colorblind feels like?
Wait. Apple can’t be ruling in, East Asian countries. Personal experience. (Should not be in China as well.)
Look at the bar chart below. Apple has almost a two-third marketshare in Japan, but only about 20% in China. But China has a variety of Android manufacturers, so that Apple is the single biggest vendor.
The world map and the chart tell different stories
Yep, saying Apple is biggest manufacturer is misleading since they have a class of their own. It’s like saying they’re the biggest manufacturer for iOS, which is not useful information.
Didn’t expect iPhone to lead in Russia
and in China
It’s “leading” with only ~20% market share, though.
More than enough for Apple to bend to pretty much everything the Chinese government is asking for.
Sure, 20% of 1.4B is 280 million, more than almost any country’s total population.
Some people don’t use smartphones. An article in prioridata states that, in this year, 974.6 millions of Chinese people use smartphones. They are still a lot of Apple users, but less than 200 million, still probably similar to their USA customer base to put it in perspective.
