- rplnt 14y agoThey used the word global but I had a suspicion the numbers are from NA (or even USA) only. When I searched for their source I found a report claiming to be global that has very different figures for vendor shares. Apple with a 5.2% market share. I know it doesn't translate directly into 5.2% iOS share but it definitely won't be on part with Android as the article reported.
- ZeroGravitas 14y agoThe figures are correct, Apple was briefly the biggest manufacturer of smartphones, in between Nokia and Samsung having that title. 5% is more likely their share of all mobile phones, including non-smartphones. But if were talking Googles income then the Android vs iOS stats are more relevant qhich are more like 60 vs 20%
