TL;DR: Apple dominates the US smartphone market, but EU regulations may offer Android a chance for resurgence by enforcing messaging interoperability and standardizing hardware features.

Apple dominates? They have just over 50% of a carrier driven market. That's not domination.

I mean, that's not a huge amount more than androids market share. And that's just the US, worldwide android has something like 70% market share. As long as it's dominating worldwide, it's not gonna die out in the US.

I dunno, the numbers look different if you account for the many different companies that make up that android glob, while any and all ios devices are from a single company

Well, the article is about Android, the operating system. It isn't about those hardware companies.

iPhone also has over 50% market share in Japan, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Australia and more. Currently it doesn't have 50% market share worldwide. But in more countries it is gaining market share.

A quick search says Amazon is 37% of online commerce (depending on which sketchy result you want to trust enough for a Lemmy thread).

If Amazon is problematic, then Apple is a serious issue.

Like 90% of the under-20 market...
