At least in the US, Apple has biggest market share by vendor at almost 50%. Samsung is a somewhat distant 2nd [0]. I would assume Italy is similar. You go again

At least in the US, Apple has biggest market share by vendor at almost 50%. Samsung is a somewhat distant 2nd [0]. I would assume Italy is similar. You go against the biggest company to have the biggest impact, get the biggest settlement and set the biggest precedent.

- ashtonkem 6y agoGoing against Apple on this case also makes it more likely that they’ll lose, and make the opposite precedent. For all of its faults, Apple is very good at supporting old phones; they’re probably the hardest manufacturer to sue on this dimension.

- kergonath 6y agoSamsung is dominant in the EU (around 40%, followed by Apple and Huawei around 20% each): https://www.statista.com/statistics/632599/smartphone-market-share-by-vendor-in-europe/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/632599/smartphone-market... I can’t seem to get numbers for Italy (without a pay wall), but I’d expect Huawei and Samsung to be stronger than in the EU overall because of their phones’ lower average price.
