If someone asked me what kind of charger I need I’d say “iPhone” but other than that or specifically discussing phones I’m not sure how it would come up. But sure, Apple marketing has been extremely effective. It seems like the movement to hate Apple is stronger than the one to love it, though, in terms of the number and passion of people in both positions.
I could picture someone calling their Google phone a Pixel but other than that, I can’t think of anything else with significant name recognition. Maybe in niches, devices like the Fairphone. Anyway personally I call my IPHONE “my phone”. I can’t imagine asking my girlfriend “hey, did I leave my iPhone in the living room?” unless I had multiple phones and had to distinguish which one.
