I think some demographic info can be useful in judging the potential uptake.

Apple iPhone ownership amongst USA teens:

2024: 87%

2019: 83%

2014: 67%

Smartphone marketshare for iPhone in various countries:

65%: Norway

59%: Sweden/Japan/Canada/USA

49%: UK

30-39%: Germany/Portugal/Italy

other countries are lower from my random sampling of developed countries (South Korea is dominated by Samsung).

Yeah, and they'll likely make this Appley only to create social pressure for even more uptake.

Yuck

Unless you use their inferior web version that pressures you into also getting an iphone.
