No. iPhones are dominant enough in the US that most people communicate over iMessage, or SMS if you're the one guy stuck on Android.

This is the reason I haven't switched to Android—so it has worked on me at least.




iOS and Android are neck and neck in the US. There was a report about iOS passing Android just days ago, so they have similar market share. I can readily believe that at certain workplaces, almost everyone has an iPhone, but this isn't true generally.


I'm still seeing 60-40 in a quick Google search? https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/united-sta...

I'm sure it does depend on your community too, e.g. iPhones are more common among members of the upper-middle class. (Which is why iPhone use is well above 60% in my social circle.)
