    The register is out of the UK and the bulk of their readership is in the US, in both places apple has above 50% market share.

        Some people think it’s a status symbol, but most people don’t care. But yeah it’s above 50 percent now and climbing (in the US).

        I have both from time to time. I wish there was a viable 3rd party than picking our favorite multi-billion dollar company, but as a developer, I need both.

        I mean, do we have viable alternative? Like every popular brand is from similar tech megacorps.

            Partially. From what I’ve read most of current android is proprietary, and the the open source part is behind by a lot. Usual evil Google way.
