    RCS has failed to take over the market, creating a strong preference for iMessage. Additionally, iPhones just work. The curated App Store means far less malware and buggy crap apps. Pile on the social aspects and few people under 25 are going for iPhones.

      That doesn’t explain the difference in market share. Seems like there are cultural differences.

        It might be, and given the States’ rather unique culture I have a feeling it’s a big contributor other factors notwithstanding.
