Android is struggling to keep its market share in the United States, as Apple continues to take over in the market. But, despite Android as a whole losing ground, Google Pixel phones are becoming a bigger slice of the US market.
Counterpoint Research reports that, in Q2 2023, US smartphone shipments dropped by 24% year-over-year. That includes both iPhones and Android phones, and virtually every brand saw a drop in shipments. Samsung saw US shipments drop by 37% while Motorola saw a 17% drop. TCL saw the biggest decline at just shy of 70% year-over-year, and even Apple saw a 6% drop.

iPhones are the only the biggest by market share in very rich countries like the nordics, US, UK and a few others, with a bias towards anglophone countries I’d say. https://deviceatlas.com/blog/android-v-ios-market-share
Basically the countries where people can afford to buy the phone that they want.
Basically the US and heavily english-speaking countries easier infected with the same brain-rot the US’ corporate ruling class calls “culture”.
(IOs/Android vs. english-speakers vs. income)
Like I said, the countries where people can buy the phone they want.
Honestly, even in my part of the US I mostly see Androids.
In western new York seemingly I’m the only one with “the poor man green bubble” even tho my phone was 1,600$ and nicer hardware and build than an iphone.
I believe that’s true for most markets, it sure is in central Europe.
Android is number one everywhere but the us. The us is apple centric. Their loss.
The US in brainlessly-adoring-corporations centric.
Which is exactly the reason while Android is shrinking in the US while Google is growing.
Android is the most used phone OS in poorer places. Places like india for example are like 99% Android, and they sell a boatload of cheap, bad phones. iPhones are the most used in the richer places in the west.
