“Reasons people don’t switch.”

This is Epic’s argument, not an old Google document, as laid out for the jury in a “demonstrative” slide:

Cost

Time: people keep their phones 2.8 years on average

Switching phones = switching ecosystems

It feels a lot like learning a foreign language

Transfer and set up involves an average of 40 steps and 9 hours

There is no one place for help

A successful transfer of data does not equal a successful switch

Losing data

Apps/feature incompatibility

Phone spec inequality

Users are attached to key features

Users’ technical acumen

Committed to other devices in the ecosystem.
