I dunno, somewhere in West Texas
I don't see anything cause normally I don't pay attention to what phones others are using. At work I see a lot of Note 3s and Galaxy S5s cause lots of guys come to me with their issues. 1 coworker has an iPhone 6 and 2 have a 6 plus. Overall everyone is satisfied but the Android folks are always amazed when I show them new tips and tricks they didn't know existed.

I see more iPhones than anything else. I driver for Lyft and I'd day it's a good 4:1 iPhone to Android with my passengers (majority of which are in their 20s).

I see vastly more androids here in the UK, perhaps 10 androids to 1 iPhone or Windows device.

I see a lot more iPhones than anything else. Probably around a 70/30 ratio. I live near a college campus though so maybe that skews the results.

Mostly iPhones and Samsungs.

Surprisingly, I've been seeing some Nexus 5's and OnePlus Ones. Have yet to see a new Moto X though nor Nexus 6.

I notice a surprisingly lot of women carry Notes, too.

I see mostly iPhones, but that's probably because I teach at a community college, and Apple is popular in education.

Just about everyone I know has an iPhone 4-6+, but there are a few Samsung phones too. Honestly, I can't say I've ever seen a phone that wasn't Apple or Samsung in public for the past couple of years.

I think this photo speaks volumes (pulled from a friend on FB at KU). But this is a college campus. I see a LOT of iPhones around mine too, and I'm just at a community college.

I also see a lot of people with Vertical Video Syndrome

I'd say mostly the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5. I've got the only Moto X I've seen, and I was the only one I knew of when I had my M8 and Z10 too.

I see a lot of GS3/4/5 and Note 3/4 models for sure. Even the occasional Nexus 5 or HTC and some LGs. But by and large, iPhones.

The chances of seeing Android phones goes up a lot when you're in the IT section of the campus or in IT classes. In just my HTML/CSS class there's an M8, G3, S5, Nexus 5, and my Moto X.

Go to a gen ed class, and it's iPhones everywhere.

Most of my friends have Androids while most of my school has iPhones. With about half the guys having an iPhone and the other half an Android. But with the girls definitely most of them have iPhones, I would say 80% have an iPhone.

There's an Apple store just a short distance from my office, and yet despite all the iPhone's Apple is selling the mix of phones in my area heavily favor Androids. Galaxy Note 3 and 4 models dominate with both men and women carrying them. I do see some older iPhone's, but very few. I've yet to see an iPhone 6 of either size. A strange phenomenon.

At the university of Toledo, I'd say it's about a 80-20 split. 80 percent of phones being iPhones, and 20 percent being androids. The strange part is that we just opened an Apple Store in Toledo and I feel like this city was already iphone favored. Most kids 14 and up are walking around at least a 5s with most being a 6.

In my circle of friends and family, it's predominantly Android, with a mix of Galaxy S, Note, and LG phones. A couple of One Plus One and Moto X 2014 owners too.

Only one has an iPhone 6.

At work (@ a financial company), it's definitely iPhones. In the wild, it's good a mix of iPhones and Samsung devices.

I'm in Chicago. I guess it depends on where you go in the area but I'd say it's a fairly even split (55/45 or 60/40 iPhone to Android). Most Android phones I see are Samsung S Series (not much of a surprise) or low/mid-range phones. Then it probably goes LG G3 and Moto X '14. I very rarely see OnePlus Ones, Nexus 5/6, or Sony's offerings. I have yet to see someone use a Nexus 6.

I see almost no one with iPhones anymore. There is a new guy at my job who has an iPhone but I'm not sure what version it is. I kind of think it may be an iPhone 6, I've not gotten a good look at it yet.

Two of us have Note Edge phones, one uses a Note 3 and the others have various other Samsungs.

Been in Yorba Linda, California for the past month and must say iPhone. In my household with a family of four, we do own Apple devices. My Mom owns the first gen iPad, iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 5, and iPhone 6 Plus. My brother is the 5th gen iPod video, MacBook Pro, iPad mini, and every iPhone model sans the "s". Planning to get iPhone 6. Only my Stepfather and me are not into iTunes and he has a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and 2nd gen Galaxy Tab. He technically owns the 3Gs my Mom gave to him for music though. My Stepfather is more into Samsung and I am more into Android. We both started on iPhones back in 2008 and it took maybe our 3rd to 4th Android to find close to the most perfect one for us. But beyond this household among other relatives, iPhone dominates at 60-70%. Most of my younger cousins have iPhones. Around the city or county, still iPhone at over 50%.

In the Philippines, Android dominates but NOT because of Android One or cheaper local phones but the fact Samsung and phablets are more popular there. I won't be surprised when I return that I see a few people carrying the S6 edge. But iPhones are still very,very popular and iPad dominates for tablet owners. The most common iPhones is still the 4/4s, 5s, and about 50/50 between 6 and 6 Plus. The iPhone 5 is not as popular as 5s. Rarer is the 3G/3Gs. The rarest is people using the original iPhone 2G but of course that is the oldest, slowest (2G speed only), and sold the least by being avail to the least carriers and countries.
