  The market share of Android vs iOS in Singapore is interesting, I guess because iPhone Xs (max).

    What the hell happened in Singapore? http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/singapore http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/singapore It went from 87% to Android in July 2018 to being neck and neck with iOS. Don't believe everyone tosssed their Androids for an iPhone.

      Why would you not believe that? Changing phones isn’t a big deal when upgrading. Guess the iPhone X’s full screen design was a hit - seen quite a few people on the train here with them; I’m quite surprised given the pricing of the iPhone X line, guess there are more more with cash to spare than I thought. Maybe even some people bought the iPhone X for the gaming performance.

        In not putting in cause the quality of the iPhone. But the iPhone X didn't came in mid-2018 to cause such a crackdown.

        Such a hit that would cause a 30(!)% marketshare change?

      I think the metric depend on the network of sites that provide the metric. So a lake of suffisent input from popular website of a country could bias result for such a country. And a shift in the network could result on a shift on the data. The question that remain is was is more accurate before or does this shift result of a better accuracy.
