I think it all boils down to the state of the official reddit app.

I switched to iPhone from Android (regrettably) not long ago, and Apollo honestly wasn’t really better than other third party Android apps I had before, I even liked it less.

I used the official reddit app for years until I tried third party apps and found them better, and when I switched to iPhone I tried the official app first and it was barely usable. Especially that god awful video player that never seemed to work properly, and even when it did it just wasn’t good.

So as soon as you factor in the fact that the vast majority of Americans own iPhones, it all makes perfect sense.
