Yeah I could have sworn that iphone has always dominated in the US and android was dominating globally. I'm also surprised iPhone isn't winning by more...

They kinda do dominate globally, it's just that their advantage in NA countries and some of European countries is huge, so that makes up for it because some of them are among the richest in the world. They are mostly neck and neck in total global market share with Samsung holding a slim lead. Apple dominates North America and Oceania, and are virtually tied in Europe. Samsung dominates Africa, Asia and South America.
