    India and China’s got as much variety as their population it seems. “Other” brands having a higher market share in China than the most used brand is interesting.

    Also those colors suck.

    Apple domintaing in … Europe

    Even your map doesn’t support this claim.

    Belarus is marked as a country where Apple dominates, even though this is not true: Redmi (Xiaomi) and Samsung phones are more popular there (link)

    Wait. Apple can’t be ruling in, East Asian countries. Personal experience. (Should not be in China as well.)

      Look at the bar chart below. Apple has almost a two-third marketshare in Japan, but only about 20% in China. But China has a variety of Android manufacturers, so that Apple is the single biggest vendor.

      Not really, they’re kind of hated as a brand, when Chinese people see the Samsung brand they immediately think Huawei because they were taught Huawei is the Chinese Samsung.

    Huawei har really taken a nose dive. Good phones, but after the whole debacle, virtually nobody in Western world buys them

      Yep, saying Apple is biggest manufacturer is misleading since they have a class of their own. It’s like saying they’re the biggest manufacturer for iOS, which is not useful information.
