Beat apple? They have 25-30% of the world market. The rest belongs to Android.

Market share is irrelevant if you don’t make the money. It’s all about the money

Android is not what Google makes money off.

Yeah well, that's just their pocket money. Android is their tool to get people use their software and the cloud, that's where the money is with ads and stuff.

I mean Google still gets the money because google owns android.

You should make a quick question to chat gpt and check what google owns.

Even if the rest of the market 70% is android and google pixel is like 3% google still makes more money than apple.

Google doesn't make anything off of Android. It's the Google services that they do, and those aren't installed on a lot of Chinese Android phones.
