By what metric is iPhone still king? Android phones account for 80+% of the market.
- JonFish85 10y agoProbably the most important one: profit. I believe Apple takes most of, if not all of, the profit in mobile phones.

- nodamage 10y agoThat's amazing. Apple captures 104% of the profits in the smartphone market, Samsung is next in line with... 0.9%. Everyone else is selling phones at a loss in order to gain more market share.
- sigmaml 10y agoTo those citing Apple's profit: it is certainly an important metric. Nonetheless, there is also another angle to consider: how much a technology enables, by being affordable and accessible. I live in India. In large parts of this country, smartphone uptake would simply not have happened but for Android's ecosystem.
