Followed by Samsung at a paltry 17%, that goes to show that Apple clearly still have the premium segment by a LOOOONG shot. :)

          The fact is, that scam stats organisation has never published anything based on real data.
          Confirmation bias to feed insecure iPhone buyers like you.

            LOL! By the way, even if we go by your flawed logic then that means nobody really buys top end SamsungÂ’s as itÂ’s clear that phones like the Galaxy Note10, Galaxy S10 and Fold are not at all selling then. No matter how desperately you try to spin this, Samsung looks bad. Apple iPhone 11 still sells for FAR MORE than the average Android and in actual fact sells at Android Flagship prices, this means that MOST people are happier with the +$699 lowest iPhone than the +$699 Androids, which clearly points to nobody wanting Flagship Androids.

            That means despite the endless discounts ALL Android flagships go through within a month of launch donÂ’t mean anything to people as people simply want an iPhone when they buy a premium device.

            This explains why Eric Schmidt of Alphabet (Google parent company)
            Ren Zhengfei (Founder of Huawei)
            and Young Sohn (the Chief Strategy Officer of Samsung)

            All use iPhones. :D These are top level executives who can afford any phone and they choose iPhone over their very own top devices to!

            Sorry Suck....I mean duck, but even they realize Androids are not great. :D
            Nobody wants to pay more than $400 for an Android, even a top Android because they know that they tank in pricing and lose support in a short space of time anyway, LOL!

                  There's nothing wrong with drawing a line here and making some observations about the part of the market where there's highest margins except that it may be too low, $400-600 sounds rather sub-premium this time and day.

                              This "study", definitely does not take any phone costing 400 bucks or more into account, as Samsung sells nearly 300 million of those every year. Making the whole matchs of Apple owning 52% of the market a grave mathematical error. We're not even counting Huawei here, them also selling more phones than Apple in that price range.
                              The reality is, Counterpoint is a known confirmation bias scam. They're the organisation also standing by counting iPads as PC's when those stats are counted and discounting a large portion of Samsung's tablets and all of Microsoft's dittos when "calculating" market shares on tablets.

                                And i dont know which midrangers have "better specs than an iphone 11". Is it moar but slower RAM? Is it moar but (much) slower NAND? Is it a not so well-calibrated, low brightness oled? Is it moar cameras with useless "depth lenses" just for bokeh? Or moar megapickles?
                                What is it?

You can get dozens upon dozens of midrange phones with higher spec hardware than the iPhone 11. But, counting all of those phones as premium in these confirmation bias statistics would break Fruity Toy buyer's fantasy.
