It should be noted this has almost nothing to do with Apple, but rather is the result of better competition among Android manufacturers splitting that market into smaller chunks. Android as a whole is still the #1 smartphone type in the world easily beating iOS. Previously Samsung was the #1 phone manufacturer, but stiff competition from other Android phone manufacturers helped drive their share of the market down low enough that Apple was able to take the #1 spot despite not increasing their market share.

Or in other words, Android's 2023 shipment share was 80%, while Apple had 20%. Title is clickbaity.

No it’s not, it’s completely accurate. It’s just that it only takes 20% to be #1 because we have that many options now.
