Pocket-size is different for everyone
It will not always be a 100% clear-cut distinction betweens mobile devices such smartphones, phablets and tablets.
They will - reasonably - use a cut-off that includes all iPhone models as mobile devices.
This data is skewed and they are using unreliable variables to determine market share
They're using
page view data to determine "market share". Not perfect - but not bad either. It's one of the best metrics for usage. It's important to note that this is different market share of sold smartphones.
The page view methodology skews the figures in favour of Apple. Cause it is known that iPhones are, on average, used longer and more intensively. For
sales of smartphones in Germany, no accepted research believes that Apple has a market share of as much as a third in Germany (it's lower).
Embedded and infotainment systems are
not the reason for skewing data in favour of Android. Neither are click farms - which aren't really a thing in Germany. It doesn't make sense at all to run such farms in Germany, of all places, due to local cost of electricity, labour, taxes, recycling and copyright fees, etc. You can do so much more efficiently in other countries (through a VPN, if need be). And 9"-12" infotainment systems aren't pocket-sized mobile devices.
You may still most of all that as assumptions. Yet I regard them as reasonable and am very confident to make them.

First of all, dash cams aren't a big thing in Germany, due to local laws and regulations severely restricting their use on privacy grounds and rather efficient traffic policing and insurance.
Secondly, dash cams don't create lots of page views (see methodology). Especially not in Germany, of all places, with its relatively expensive mobile data contracts with low data allowances and barely average mobile data coverage.
That reference and link to dash cams is utterly meaningless in the context of the market share data in question.
