Android's vast global dominance of the smartphone market has shrunk slightly over the past four years while iOS has continued to increase its overall share, according to a new analysis from the website. stockapps.
Google's Android OS is the most widely used operating system in the world, with smartphone makers of all kinds relying on the mobile operating system to power their devices. As such, it's no surprise that Android controls about two-thirds of the mobile market, but new data from StockApps suggests that Google shouldn't take its supremacy for granted.
Android controlled 77.32% of the global operating system market in July 2018. As of January 2022, four years later, this percentage has decreased to 69.74%. Meanwhile, during the same four-year period, global iOS adoption grew from 19.4% to 25.49%, an increase of 6%. According to a StockApp analysis, the remaining 1.58% lost by Android went to developers of smaller operating systems.
The marginal shift in share in no way indicates that Android's dominance is under threat, but despite reports of disappointing iPhone SE sales, it's a positive sign for Apple that its broader strategy to diversify its iPhone and iPad lineup Its own pay off in a very tight competitive space.
StockApps analysis also includes an interesting geographic breakdown of the operating system's dominance. For example, in Africa, 84% of all smartphones are running Android, while iOS accounts for about 14% of the continent's devices, and this is because Apple devices are very expensive on the continent of mostly poor third world residents. The same is true for Asia and South America, where Android accounts for 81% and 90%, respectively. By contrast, iOS's share is 18% in Asia and 10% in South America.
As expected, Apple has the lion's share in North America and Australia, where it overtakes Google's share. iOS accounts for 54% of the market in both regions, while Android accounts for nearly 45%, indicating that loyalty to Apple's hardware, platform, and apps keeps users within its ecosystem.

The map is inaccurate
In short, the reason for domination is the luxury of its devices
Really, I'm currently changing from Note to iPhone
Wow, stocks are affected
This is a very normal thing for the Android system to dominate the largest share of operating systems because there are many brands that use the Android system in their devices, not just Samsung, and for IOS, it is limited to only one brand, which is Apple, and with this one brand alone, I got more than 25% From the global market, what if you order several companies or brands from Apple, you use their system?? 😉 You will eat the whole world market
Guys, this is what I said 3 years ago, when the iPhone XNUMX was released.
For everything if the decrease
Do not be tempted by the goodness of living a person
The dependence of the Android system on the economic situation of users does not mean that it performs well, but rather a large percentage of users are forced to use it due to the cheapness of the devices that work with this system. On the other hand, we must look back and remember the Symbian system with Nokia and the Windows Mobile system with Microsoft, as they did not take into account the requirements of development and relied on their past glory, so they went into extinction.
New systems will come and are likely to take the places of the old if the needs of users and the movement of the rapidly developing era are not taken into account.
God willing, all Android and Korean cars and everything Chinese will be lost. May God have mercy on everything. The one who was brought up on the original at a time did not go to stroke his Korean and Chinese head. iPhone web. and cut.
I hope it shrinks more
It is possible for the apple’s share to expand globally if you change selling it to renting. This is a solution, even if “in installments.”
People like the principle of the device for everyone and the service for those who pay, as this is easier on the pocket.
In the next few years, will absolutely dominate the phone market 👊🏾 and most phone manufacturers will collapse!!! The iPhone succeeds because it sells you an integrated device in terms of hardware and software, but what is happening with Android is a farce, as Android companies sell you only a hardware device and software Abu Kalb 🐕
