In terms of Google's Android Market share, it's beating Apple by a huge margin, but the decline in the percentage of users in the last 5 years should worry the company a bit.
According to a report by research firm Statista published in wccftech, the Android operating system has lost
8 percent
of its market share in favor of Apple's iOS.
How significant is the change?
In January 2022, Android's market share was
69.74 percent
- compared to
77.32 percent in
July 2018. However, during the same period (five years) Apple's iOS operating system grew from
19.4 percent
to
25.49 percent
.

According to estimates, the growth of iOS is partly due to Apple's successful attempt to penetrate emerging markets with the help of its discounted devices, the iPhone SE.
However, so far, sales of the latest version launched last month - iPhone SE 2022 - are not as successful as the company expected, according to analyst Ming-qi Kuo.

The report also shows that in Africa Android dominates almost completely, with
84 percent
, while Apple manages to achieve a significantly lower figure of
only 14 percent
.
And what is happening in Europe?
69.32 percent
of the smartphones on the continent come with the Android operating system, compared to a market share of
30 percent
for iOS.
In North America, on the other hand, the situation is slightly different: iOS has a
54 percent
advantage , compared to
45 percent
for Android.
In Asian countries, Android reaches a market share of
81 percent
, and in South America even more - with
90 percent
.
