After Netflix, Apple has the second most loyal users in the world, according to a new study.

A recent study delving into brand loyalty has unveiled some intriguing findings. It suggests that Apple has a stronger consumer base than Samsung. However, Netflix still takes the top spot when it comes to the category.

The study, conducted by British energy, technology, and legal firm Bionic, employed a multi-faceted methodology. It harnessed data from UK polling firm YouGov, supplemented by search demand and social media statistics. .

Apple's Strong Reputation and Impression

While Samsung scored slightly higher in brand awareness, with a score of 1.01 compared to Apple's 0.82, Apple excelled in other crucial aspects. 

Apple Insider reports that the Cupertino giant outshone Samsung in reputation, impression, and brand stability, securing a remarkable score of 2.62 in comparison to Samsung's 1.15. This underscores Apple's enduring reputation for quality, reliability, and exceptional customer service.

The study could also support a survey which says that more Android users will switch to iPhone because of the major transition in the use of USB-C port.

According to SellCell, this change could potentially lure more Android phone owners to try iPhone 15 or even its predecessors.

The survey reveals that 44% of owners who currently own an Android phone will purchase iPhone 15 after the USB-C port comes.

On the other hand, 66% of Android users believe that it's fine to retain the smartphone brand while only 34% say that it's always a good idea to upgrade to iPhone 15.

Netflix's Unprecedented LoyaltyDominance

Netflix's dominance in brand loyalty is undisputed. With impressive scores across the board, including loyalty at 2.98, impression at 4.35, and reputation at 3.62, the streaming giant emerged as the frontrunner. Its combined score of 78.57 out of 100 reflects its strong presence in the market.

Comparing Top Technology Firms

Within the top 20 brands with the most loyal users, technology giants Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft make appearances.The iPhone maker secures second spot, Amazon claims the third spot, and Microsoft ranks at number 11. These tech leaders continue to enjoy dedicated customer followings.

Meanwhile, Samsung lags too far at 24th place. While it's "historically-dominant" over Apple, the South Korean tech firm gradually felt the declining sales of smartphones by the time Apple graced the market. It's also attributed to the fact that the latter has continued to market products for premium consumers.

Looking Beyond the Rankings

While brand loyalty rankings provide valuable insights, it's essential to consider broader trends. Recent surveys have shown varying results, with Statista's US-based survey placing Apple ahead of Samsung in loyalty. However, Google Pixel owners' low response rate and a significant portion expressing openness to switching phones suggest that loyalty can be influenced by various factors.
