Do they actually mean iPhones or any smartphones? Such kind of titles can be very misleading because it's not uncommon to use incorrect terms.

If the title is correct - it's pretty bad. 87% market share for Apple in any demographic is horrible.




Not surprising though. Apple's hardware and software quality are way better than anything you get with Android, the only place some Android handsets are ahead is the camera. And the Apple stuff isn't any more expensive (iPhone SE 2020 is available for $399).


Hardware yes. Software is debatable. iOS quality is not as good as it used to be. Android is actually better in some significant ways. It depends what you care about.


I'd argue it's not better in either case. It's a lot more marketing than actual value. Plus they use all kind of sick lock-in tactics to entrench their position. They are like MS from the '90s in that sense.
