>Apple is a minority player in every single market in the world, including the US.
While I heavily agree with the rest of your reply whole-heartedly, this specific part isn't entirely correct.
You are correct that Apple (when it comes to smartphones) is a minority player worldwide, but it isn't the case in the US, where it sits at a comfortable 58% smartphone market share [0], thus making it a majority player.

- dmix 6y agoI believe the OP is using "market share" as porportion of revenue" of the marketplace and not actual number of users. I'm highly skeptical that iOS is greater than 50% of the US market based on the endless web analytics I've looked at through my career (and that >50% goes back a number of years in their stats).
