Only GSM Arena using Strategy Analytics (?) have these smartphone sales figures. All others have the global figures almost the same as follows Samsung 22%, Apple 15%, Xiaomi 14%, Oppo 11%, Vivo 10% and all others at 28% (+/- 1%). I think the 30% Apple share is only in the US.

                      I am not even going to hate on you, I don't have the desire to.

                          Not everyone cares if tech is from China, Japan, India, USA, etc
                          life is way to short to limit yourself to one way of thinking......how shallow would our world be if we transferred the same kind of hatred narrow mindedness for different tech, into mainstream life, religion, people who we communicate with?

                          Yes have your opinions but please do not let it become toxic or be detrimental to others happiness.
                          Tech on all platforms has a place, I still remember my old days of zx spectrum, typing in basic codes for silly screen effects, music and command line games.
                          Do I now hate zx spectrum now I use a windows 10 desktop ? no, it holds good memories.

                          Tech is a tool to help us communicate and share, explore and grow, so leave the brand loyalty behind and just use whatever you have or enjoy it.

And that's literally all you spec nerds base your claims on when it comes to phones. Great, you can read the brochure how wonderful it is with all the big numbers like billion gigabytes of RAM because it's so badly optimized they need to throw whole lakes of RAM at the problem. Such innovation. Really.
