The iOS dollar share of the app market is still higher I believe.

  Funny that Apple may need to help Google and Samsung gain marketshare in order to keep the most profitable segment of the market while staying out of the monopoly category.

    That is pretty much the main reason why Microsoft rescued Apple from insolvency.

      I wonder what the world looks like in the parallel universe where Bill Gates left Apple to die. Maybe better, maybe not.

We're talking about US regulators here, so only marketshare in the US is relevant. Apple has 60% last time I checked.

  Is that 60% of money or 60% of the devices sold/in use?

  Indeed though you'll notice the case includes Google's international arms. Bear in mind this is US developers gaining access to the entire global market Google controls access to, which comes through Google's US business. So for the purposes of this case, the global figure is quite relevant.
