Abstract

This appendix considers what factors may affect levels of switching between mobile operating systems, including inertia and customer disengagement, brand loyalty, and satisfaction. It also examines evidence that some factors act as barriers to customer switching, for example factors that could:

  • cause users to perceive switching to be difficult or costly (for example, because they would pose a ‘hassle’), discouraging potential switchers
  • impose actual costs on users that do switch (for example, financial, time or learning costs)
