Dados obtidos pela Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) em uma pesquisa realizada no primeiro trimestre deste ano indicam que a migração de usuários do Android para o iPhone nos Estados Unidos continua sendo uma tendência, embora em menor escala do que no passado.

Dos usuários que adquiriram um novo modelo da Apple, 12% eram donos de um smartphone com Android no momento da compra, enquanto 1% possuía um telefone convencional e 87% (a famosa taxa de lealdade) já tinham um iPhone.

No mesmo trimestre do ano passado, 14% dos donos de novos iPhones saíram do Android, 2% dos aparelhos convencionais e 84% já eram usuários da Maçã — o que significa que a taxa de migração do Android para o iPhone caiu em relação ao ano anterior.

A CIRP destaca que, nos últimos anos, a taxa de mudança do Android para o iPhone tem oscilado entre 11% e 15%. Ela já foi bem maior no passado, quando a Apple passou a suportar outras operadoras de telefonia americanas para além da AT&T.

iPhone owners are sticking with the platform at a higher rate than a year ago, with new research firm CIRP putting iPhone loyalty at 87% for the first quarter of 2026.


CIRP's latest quarterly survey found that just 12% of new iPhone buyers in the March quarter had come over from an Android phone, with the remaining 1% arriving from a feature phone, a different smartphone platform, or buying a smartphone for the first time. That puts loyalty three percentage points above the same quarter a year earlier, when 14% of buyers switched from Android and the overall loyalty figure sat at 84%.

The firm has been tracking this movement for years by asking iPhone buyers what device they owned right before their purchase, among other questions about how they shop. Across the periods it measured recently, the share of buyers coming from Android has held in a fairly narrow 11% to 15% band, a much smaller pool of switchers than in the iPhone's early years, when Apple was still expanding beyond AT&T to other U.S. carriers and picking up large numbers of new users in the process.

The trend held steady in early 2024 too, when 13% of buyers arrived from Android and loyalty came in at 85%. CIRP's numbers suggest the bulk of smartphone owners settled on a platform long ago, and only a small slice change sides each year. This is a pattern other recent surveys have pointed to as well, even if their methodology and figures differ from CIRP's.

Apple will roll out Siri AI, its overhauled AI assistant, in iOS 27 later this year, which could help retain existing iPhone owners. Attracting Android converts is a separate challenge, though Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone will introduce a new form factor that may appeal to some existing Android foldable owners.
