Yeah more likely smartphones, Chromebooks and Android tablets were just a couple examples I was giving and not intended as the only devices people are switching to.
Also ChromeOS will be combining with Android into a single platform apparently. Some ChromeOS devices currently report as Android, too, so that may explain the decline in the ChromeOS market share. The number of Chromebooks shipped in 2025 Q1 increased by ~10% since last year.
