> Apple doesn't have a majority market share in the US.
They do according to some sources [0]. By all accounts they have the majority when you breakdown phones by brand (as compared to platform). By every account they’re nearing 50% in the US.
Also, among the US youth market they have close to 90% [1] so fortunately the general share will keep rising. (I say fortunately because I look forward to the US being able to regulate their policies.)
Majority won't differ based on how you break it down (unless a brand has multiple platforms, which isn't particularly the case).
Largest market share would differ for brands and platforms though.
My broader point, that the exaggeration makes it difficult to understand what they are getting at, survives quibbling about what the words mean, and probably if some platform that isn't Apple has a 40% market share (Rather than just a brand). 40% is a big chunk when the starting line is that everyone will react severely.
> I say fortunately because I look forward to the US being able to regulate their policies.
I fear this, although regulation would be welcome. Already, the AppStore is a bigger revenue generator than PlayStore even though Apple holds about a 27% share worldwide. If a big market like US, went all in on iPhone. I fear that we will have an app problem in Android and other free Android forks, which eventually might kill competitiveness of any non iOS platform.
