* dominate the global market. Apple is a very minor player outside of the US and Japan.


"very minor player": I do not agree. I Googled for: "iphone market share by country"

What is wild to me: This is a single company. Android has a huge number of makers.

I’m not in favor of it, but most of the global market is too poor to matter.

One of the things I do respect Google for is providing services to poor people, but that doesn’t mean it’s a business advantage.

If you offered me control of the entire Android ecosystem or just Apples iPhone business I’d not even blink to take Apple.
