ht... moreGains marketshare?? Lol every year, in Q4 they gain marketshare as new iPhones are launched in that quarter. Their marketshare declines for the rest of the year as Android phones are selling a lot more during other quarters. It's mostly Apple users upgrading to the new iPhone.
Still did not see you produce any stat where 100 million Android users switched to iOS.

People are increasingly replacing their laptops and computers with tablets and smartphones entirely, and Apple is gatekeeping access to a SIGNIFICANT portion of that market. It's not just about the 30% which Apple "kindly" dropped to 15% for a handful of people, it's about all the rules including the exploitative Apple Pay one: No VMs, no alternative browser engines, restrictions on even linking to your website, and a whole plethora of limitations. Nobody can compete with App Store either.
It needs to stop. That's what the fight is about."
That's the smoke screen. Epic doesn't care about the little guy for a second, they want to replace Steam. They are using this legal battle to force their way onto iOS and be there for free. Fortnite costs nothing to download, but the app store costs money to run. Epic games basically wants to have their app on iOS and its app store, but doesn't want to pay anything for being there, like someone opening a store on your front lawn then refusing to pay rent. By being able to buy v-buck inside the app without giving apple anything, it's basically demanding support, development tools and advertising to its user base for free. And worst of all, they play this off as a David vs Goliath story but I'm sure if they owned the store 30% would be the minimum they'd demand. Fact is they are full of crap.
Even if you hate Apple, this would still be one Maffia Don trying to muscle out and replace another Maffia Don, Epic isn't better than Apple, they are just as bad if not worse cause they want to be handed everything on a silver plater and try to legally bully people into giving them free stuff while Virtue signaling and people are buying into their BS.

No wonder iPhone is so popular among conservatives. It is the conservative phone, only implements thing after years of extant tech.
Basically the accountant they have for a CEO made an 180 from the Jobs era. During the Jobs era Apple had a cult following but was extremely innovative . Cooks era is about catching the boring people (like himself).
Only issue with that is that even boring people get (eventually) bored by bo-ring . Apple only dominates because nobody truly step up to fill the void. Apple, Samsung and Huawei are the Nokia/Eriksson/Motorola of current phones.
Whoever the next Jobs is and whichever company he runs will eat their launch. Evolution vs Revolution.

It’s a fact that 2019-2020 end active IPhone userbase grew 100 million, it was said by Apple. And where you think majority of those users came if not from Android? It can also be seen from my link (when it gets here) that Apple have had stunning growth in userbase 2019-2020

This same been said since forever and yet it haven’t happened, it’s actually opposite. Android flagship phones aren’t seen worth of the price anymore, those who just want phone without any needs buy $250 Android and most who want something more choose iPhone and are ready to pay for it. Apple is just too strong and too big and every year they add those things which been reason to buy Android. Slowly Apple is removing those reasons for the big crowd.
” The survey in question fielded responses from 5,200 teens — with an average age of about 16 — across 41 states. When the dust settled, a whopping 85% of respondents indicated that they own an iPhone. That’s an absolutely staggering figure and underscores the strength of Apple’s brand amongst younger generations.
What’s more, the survey found that 88% of respondents indicated that they want an iPhone to be their next smartphone. In other words, Apple’s share of the teen smartphone market, impressively, still has room to grow. It’s also worth noting that the 85% and 88% figures above both represent “new all-time survey highs.”

” Apple has also hit an iPhone milestone, reaching the incredible number of more than 1 billion active iPhones worldwide, up from 900 million in 2019.”
It’s not really surprising as teens number one choice is iPhone nowdays and most of them stay there when they grow older, because before iPhone they had Android phones. Future is really bright for Apple and iPhone because Apple is getting them hooked when they are young. This is also one reason why Android flagship sales gone down every year. There just isn’t samekind potential anymore for Android flagships, because so many teens are nowdays iPhone users. That’s also why Apple can sell 90 million iPhones in one Q.
