iPhones than any other smartphone model are in use in the US. According to The Financial Times, the iPhone surpassed the whole Android ecosystem in June to capture 50% of the US market. Apple’s market share of American smartphones hit a record high. Apple accomplished the milestone thanks to the iPhone’s “active installed base,” a statistic that accounts for all users of iOS devices who have acquired them used.

By 2010, two years after its release, Android had surpassed iOS in terms of the number of instals. Since then, Google’s mobile operating system has dominated the world’s smartphone market, accounting for more than 70% of all smartphone sales as of 2022.

Google most likely has nothing to be concerned about. After all, relative to other markets, the US has always had a disproportionately large presence of the iPhone. The business is probably still attentively examining the situation. The research director of Counterpoint, Jeff Fieldhack, told The Times that “this is a significant milestone that we could see replicated in other wealthy countries across the globe.” With the iPhone accounting for 57% of all sales in the segment as of Q2 2022, Apple had already established its dominance in the premium smartphone industry.
