Korea doesn’t use Android because it’s affordable, they’re actually quite wealthy as a society. Apple, Blackberry, and Nokia ignored Korea for years, only for the Koreans to go international and usurp Blackberry and Nokia. Apple has for the most part continued to ignore Korea up until very recently, so it makes sense for LG and Samsung to be the dominant players. (There’s also a bit of Nationalism mixed in this, but this isn’t exactly the forum for that ).

Affordability doesn’t equate to wealth though. Just because you’re wealthy, doesn’t mean you are going to blindly buy a product that is more expensive just because its more expensive.

It was also not my intent to make it seem like that was the only reason. As their are other reasons i was just highlighting a common reason you see android selling better as its more accesible to more people. Iphone does best in the american markets but its not a majority in america either.

You have cheaper and more high-end android phones. So you can hit a larger range of people. There aren’t a wide swath of new iphone models. You are lucky to get three or four. so the amount of people who can buy an iphone will always be more limited in any given market. You can get a cheap android phone 50-100 dollars. You arent finding an iphone for 50-100 dollars.

Internet in South Korea is both cheaper and faster, so it’s unsurprising that cloud gaming (especially on the go) gets adopted quicker there than in anywhere else.
