As of May this year, Apple phones were 23% of the market according to what I’ve read .. it dropped slightly.
Almost 70% were Android powered phones …. I’ve had both phones in the past couple of years … Samsung S6, S6 Edge, S7 and Apple 6, and 6 Plus. The only phones I haven’t had any weird issues with were Apple …. I’m not a fan of Android personally. As Travis mentioned, everyone has a preference and choose different devices - I’ll also take a Mac any day over a PC and I own several of both … I also *really* like the Apple ecosystem where my iPads, iPhones, Mac’s all interfact with one another (and including my Apple TV units) - I have the same photos, files, passwords, usernames, etc on all devices securely synchronized.
