I do not know a thing about market share, what I do know is that I have been using Android since the Android Dev Phone running version 1.0 of the software back in 2008 (iirc).
I am currently using a Galaxy S10+ and imho it is the best smartphone that I have used to date and I have used a ton of them. My gripe with Apple has always been I feel like they are asking a Premium for the Apple experience which is a good experience, I myself have just never felt it is worth the premium. With all that said,my Galaxy S10+ does not play nicely with my current BMW running iDrive 6.0 and an of course I am frustrated that I am going to have to wait for my next BMW for Android Auto, but that is life. |

Though 20 countries is very odd, I can easily count more than 20 countries that have on par or better wireless infrastructure. I mean entire Western Europe + East Asia is more than that already |

Both OS should be treated the same by the auto manufacturers though, since the consumer makes their own choices. |

So this will be a free software update. They ended subscription for Apple Car Play as they were planning to offer android auto and figured folks would not want to pay.

Old Navy sells way more than MK, Armani or Ralph Lauren, or Zegna. But you wouldn't expect BMW owners to be interested in Old Navy in most cases. 90+% of people who make more than $120K/year are on iPhone. Also people with managerial jobs, and people with post graduate degrees prefer iPhones more than 70+% of the time. Based on these numbers, 90+% of BMW buyers would be on iOS, easily.

i've had both and they both do the normal phone stuff fine. i just got irritated having to use itunes, and once i had youtube picture in picture it was a done deal. I can run a youtube podcast or video on my drive home, and answer a text without having to pause.
i think people who nerd out over computers and build their own gravitate toward android

I don't have an iPhone because :
A) I don't support Apple and other companies whose solution to their workers suicides is a net around the building. B) I like easily developing apps (mostly for my own sake) and Android Studio works on all my machines, and is done in Java. C) I don't care to have the newest 1000% markup iPhone. How do you think I afford an M2? I don't spend a thousand dollars every year and the same phone they released last year. D) I refuse to be a sheep. E) My brand new Pixel 3a is dirt cheap, works on Google Fi (which is also cheap), and has a fantastic camera and phone screening. The only reason people buy iPhones is because they don't want to seem poor OR all their friends have it and they buy into the hive mentality, aka sheep. Could you IMAGINE walking into work without an iPhone in hand! Great Scott, the looks you would get from your hoity-toity coworkers would surely make you die of shame!

If true, that means 90% of BMW owners are just brand whores who are only driving them as a status symbol. Those same people wearing Lululemon's and go to Starbucks every morning and act like the world is ending everyday. They are clueless people who ironically are less intelligent and less successful and many of their counterparts who don't own Apple phones because those Android owners have been enlightened.
