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.
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.
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.
