“The Apple ecosystem centers on its iPhone and iPad products- nearly all Apply Loyalists own these devices,” said Jennifer Kent, Vice President, Research, Parks Associates. “Apple benefits from having the most tech-forward user base and highest perception of quality across these brands.”

The study defines Brand Loyalists as households with three or more devices from the same brand. The following devices were counted as products within a brand’s ecosystem:

• Apple—Apple desktop/laptop, Apple tablet, Apple smartphone, Apple TV streaming media player
• Amazon—Amazon tablet, Amazon smartphone, Amazon Fire Stick or Fire TV streaming media player
• Google/Android—Android computer stick, Android tablet, Android smartphone, Chromecast/Nexus Player/NVIDIA Shield with Google TV
• Samsung—Samsung desktop/laptop, Samsung tablet, Samsung smartphone, Samsung TV

“Google is a solid second place in terms of ecosystems; its footprint has been growing at a much slower pace than Apple,” Kent said.
