Android is struggling to keep its market share in the United States, as Apple continues to take over in the market. But, despite Android as a whole losing ground, Google Pixel phones are becoming a bigger slice of the US market.
Counterpoint Research reports that, in Q2 2023, US smartphone shipments dropped by 24% year-over-year. That includes both iPhones and Android phones, and virtually every brand saw a drop in shipments. Samsung saw US shipments drop by 37% while Motorola saw a 17% drop. TCL saw the biggest decline at just shy of 70% year-over-year, and even Apple saw a 6% drop.
…nope
You’re conflating having them with “have to have” them.
No I’m not. They have to have them because google forces them on all phones that have google play services.
You seem confused. Do you even understand what’s being discussed here?
Samsung do not sell a single phone that doesn’t have all the google bloat apps on it. You can’t remove them. You disagreed, then agreed, then disagreed within 3 posts.
No they don’t.
You’re the one who is confused. I’ve been saying the same thing the whole time: that “Google bloat” is not required. I know because I don’t have it and have removed it from several devices.
You keep reiterating that none of them don’t have this Google software, as if it contradicts the previous statement, but it does not.
Once again, having this software doesn’t mean that they have to have this software.
This is the last time I’ll be repeating myself.
