Quick Poll: Android or Apple
With the discussion about Apple Car Play and Android Auto, I was curious to poll those following this sub forum. Please, no need to push your preferred phone/ecosystem nor any need to criticize other’s choices. Just a simple answer so we can all see what the ratio of Android to Apple phones looks like. Keep in mind, this isn’t even close to being scientific. This will only poll people that follow an automotive forum, so it will be heavily biased in favor of those owners that are enthusiasts and/or perhaps more technically inclined.
Android for me.

People are basically going to prefer whatever in their car their current phone operating system.
In the US at least currently roughly 63% uses iOS and 36% uses Android.

Here is some current data on US market share. https://www.statista.com/statistics/...united-states/ Overall, Apple lags behind. But there's an article where a Lexus spokesman says that 80% of Lexus drivers are Apple users. Don't know where he got his stats. But perhaps that's because they tend to be older.

Not me. I'm sticking with my Android. I would prefer the car support Android, but I would never choose a phone system based on what the car company offers - or vice versa. There are always workarounds so you can have your cake and eat it too. Frankly as soon as the new screen mirroring system comes out, The Lexus Nav system pales in comparison to Google Maps and Waze. I still use the audio from my phone for navigation through the bluetooth system. Looking at the map seems unnecessary when Google is telling you to turn left at the next light.

I agree that Google Maps is better than the Lexus (or really any) built in navigation. However, convenience is a big part of it. I don't want to have to constantly be looking down at my phone to look at the map for navigation and I HATE those windshield and air vent phone mounts. If a car has wireless Android Auto I'd use it. Otherwise it's the built in system.

I find it hard to believe that 80% of Lexus owners are iPhone users.
