- adventured 6y agoMarket share doesn't determine whether a company has a monopoly in the US market. That said, if that's what did determine it, Apple would be in the clear. Android has the majority share of the market in the US and has for a long time. 51.8% as of September 2019, to Apple's 47.4%, according to: https://www.statista.com/statistics/266572/market-share-held-by-smartphone-platforms-in-the-united-states/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/266572/market-share-held... And 46% for Apple as of the first quarter of 2020, according to: https://www.counterpointresearch.com/us-market-smartphone-share/ https://www.counterpointresearch.com/us-market-smartphone-sh... The statcounter.com site you linked to is a notoriously mediocre resource if you're looking for data that is accurate and representative of a market.
