Idk where they got this data from. In my kid's school almost everyone has Androids. Granted I live in a poorer area of the country where apple shit is rare and most people have cheap Chromebooks.

I'm sure it's highly variable by region, I live in a, I suppose you couldn't call it rich, but not a poor area, and nearly everyone in my school has an iPhone. Not only an iPhone, but usually the latest one or at least within a couple generations.The district also provides us with MacBooks. (Writing this from a Pixel 6 though!)

About five years ago, non-tech folk would switch from Apple (which was paid for by family) to Android (which is what they could afford entering the job market). As a tech geek, I actively pursued Android offerings with the latest stuff (waterproofing! encryption!) and got good results from it. The general rule was to buy a phone from the manufacturer and use the base OS rather than the hobbled offerings from the telecommunications stores.
Effective marketing.
Modus operandi for apple, too. "Get one because everybody has one" is one of the biggest marketing tools they push to sell their tech.
only reason I have an iphone is that the mini's are so awesomely small. Never will return to a phone larger than 5.4!
but that's for convenience and I never ever see a phone as a status symbol. I mean the are basically all the same and can do all the same, so why the fuzz?
