The raw data [1] seems highly seasonal. This is up from Q1/2/3 but actually down from Apple's 65% in Q4 2020.
I wonder what this seasonality reflects. Are iPhones more [relatively] popular as gifts than when people buy for themselves?

- yen223 5y agoQ4 I believe is typically when new iPhones are announced and launched.
- Someone 5y agoI don’t think that is enough data to conclude it is highly seasonal, but if it is a reason may be that Apple has a new model once a year or so, while there’s a new Android phone model every week (maybe exaggerating a tiny bit :-))
