The iPhone’s success and audience preference in North America is also due to the “strength” of the ecosystem. This is because among the factors cited for Apple’s overtaking of Samsung are health and finance, two areas in which Tim Cook has focused his company’s focus in recent years, such as financial times.

It is important to note that Apple’s 50% market reach belongs to the “active users” category. That is, it is not limited to smartphones sold during 2022, but to all users of Apple iPhone smartphones in the United States. In other words, more than 50% of all smartphone users in the US use an iPhone.

“Operating systems are like religions – no major changes at all. However, over the past four years, the migration flow has been going from Android to iOS.” Counterpoint Research Director Jeff Feldhack noted. Feldhak also notes, “It’s a great milestone that we see replicated in other rich countries around the world.”
