They don't control more than half of the entire market. Come on, you know that. It's trivially easy to show that Android has greater "market share" than iOS.

Now... do buyers of third-world shitphones buy a bunch of expensive (or any) applications? Hell no. But they still count as Android "market share."




They have 56% of the market in the US.


The rest of the world it's Android based.


And?


And the US is the legal jurisdiction.

US antitrust law doesn't apply to the third world.


I must say that for this case, you have a point.


Developing world, not third world


I was just following the terminology of the OP: "buyers of third-world shitphones" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35696458

For some reason you chose to be pedantic with me but not with the OP.

Go away.
