        Which is honestly a problem, they need to improve pixels availability. I hate having to jump through hoops just to buy a pixel.

      Which doesn't say anything about "Samsung's decline in many established markets": https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/02/iphone-us-market-share/ https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/02/iphone-us-market-share/ The only mention of Samsung is: > The 50 per cent landmark the iPhone’s highest share since it launched in 2007 was first passed in the quarter ending in June, according to data from Counterpoint Research.

If anything, Android's and Samsung's marketshare is _rising_ worldwide.
