You think I care how many they sell? I sure as hell don't. The only thing I care about is a really nice phone which does every thing I need it to do cost me $230. As far as Android goes, you think I care because I don't. I don't give two ***** about Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung etc.
Hey, Android works great for me and so does iOS. I'm not getting into a fanboy debate on which one is better. The bottom line for me is that Huawei makes feature rich, quality phones for a fraction of the price of its competitors.

I know why (insert Washington Neocons making up **** towards another Country that doesn't want to play ball with the US) and I still don't care.lol. Americans would rather defend a Chinese state owned company than their own.
They don't even know why Huawei is banned in the US.
Can't wait for China to crush the US in every other category. You deserve it
Your S9 runs Android. You’re not understanding the draw to remain with iOS.
People don’t want to switch to Android.

The new phones have new features. FaceID is awesome and secure. That costs money. iOS is great...that costs money. The iPhone X is a better phone and worth the premium over the old design. Now all phones in their 2018 lineup have that design.
Don’t like it, buy an Android...

Because if they didn’t, no one would buy a Huawei. Once they get a following, watch them increase prices. They would charge more, but they can’t.
Btw, the “sticker” price for the P20 Pro is $1100...not exactly cheap.
I got this from the article. iPad share is 27%. The rest is mostly Android (70% give or take).
Again, who the hell cares because I sure as don't. I paid $230 for a pretty slick phone, that's the bottom line for me. The people at the top running those companies are the one's who have to worry about pricing strategies, not me. I bought a Mate SE for $230 not a P20. That's stupid money and my wallet is filled with stupid money that I refuse to part with.
My point is if carriers didnt offer patment plans most iPhone buyers wouldn't or couldnt shell out 1-1500k for a phone. Carriers are helping Apple sell devices.
I understand why these articles are written but it does not take a research firm to learn that less iPhones and iPads will be sold over $1000 than when their cost was hidden by subsidies.
It is not change in America, Europe and Japan, much less in the rest of the work where that sum may be the same or more than a month’s salary.
Units will keep dropping as devices are able to run the latest versions of apps for a longer period of time. Revenue is a different matter and what actually matters at the end of the day.

And Apple is helping carriers sell service plans and push data. Big deal. Why do you think carriers run promotions?
What you don't realise fella is that these lads that drop a grand on a handset, they have certain issues... that can only be addressed by buying over priced toys that make them feel.better about themselves... sad but true...
Of course. A large percentage of these phones are financed through carriers or directly through Apple.
Google has basically ended support for tablets in Android.
And what tablets do you claim outsell the iPad?
I think Huawei will overtake Samsung soon.

Carriers help all phone manufacturers, some more than others. Samsung phones get pushed a lot by carriers.
Android tablets outsell iPad by a significant margin (better than 2:1). Galaxy Tab S2 is produced by Samsung. Samsung has not ended anything.
Apple is the biggest taxpayer in the US and employs thousands of Americans, but "smart" Americans think they should support Huawei instead. Even if you don't like Apple, you could use Google's pixel.
Anyway, I'm not American. Why should I worry about you guys. Everyone knows that America is in decline and soon will be replaced by China who has smart leaders and smart people.
LULZ WUT? Might want to check those numbers. Clearly Apple outsells every other vendor.
iOS vs Android, with Apple having 34.9%, "better than 2:1" simply isn't possible.

Wow, an s9 is a commodity, but 200 million iPhones a year are some sort of specialist niche luxury product, boy you are a piece of work young fella.. do you actually believe this codswallop you keep spouting..
As the article clearly states, last quarter iPad unit sales represented 26.6% of the tablet market. The chart does not show what the windows tablet share is but I assume it's low. So about 70% belongs to Android. The latest point available on the chart you referenced is for Q2. Apparently iPad sales dropped significantly in Q3. BTW, statista uses IDC data (same as this article). So I am just using fresher data (more appropriate given that this article is about Q3). Also, if you look at the statista's chart you'll notice that in the last three years iPad market share was roughly around 25%. Q2 was a good quarter for iPads but now the things are back to "normal".

Yes. That was in response to the claim that "Google has basically ended support for tablets in Android".
So can you break down which Android Tablets sold more than iPads? You're lumping all Android Tabs together as if they were one company.
How about how many Samsung vs Apple Tablets?
Amazon vs Apple Tablets?
Just curious because a lot of people like to say Android vs iPhone where it should be manufacturer vs manufacturer, not OS (Android) vs manufacturer (Apple).
Also, everyone - honest question: Would you rather make more profit or sell more items with much less profit?
<-
I'm just saying if carriers didn't offer payments many many people would just buy cheap phones instead of flagships whether it be Apple Galaxy Lg or whatever. Imvho most who buy flagships through their carrier dont have $1000's laying around to buy the family or themselves $1,000 phones.
I am a consumer. Would I rather the tablet manufacturer made more profit from me? No. The numbers for Samsung and Amazon are available in the article. I mentioned Android tablets as a category while replying to the claim that Android tablets are dead. There are different contexts. In some, it makes sense to compare vendor vs vendor. In other contexts, talking about OS (ecosystem) is more appropriate.
Fair enough. FYI I primarily use an iPad Pro as my main driver (editing drone pictures and videos using Affinty and LumaFusion on the go for business) and I have numerous Android tablets I've tinkered with for fun (rooting etc) but I get your point - was just trying to clarify.
Um, yes? iOS can raise prices and sell 218M at over $700. How many Android phones are sold at $700 and above, combined?
Off the top of my head, the Galaxy S9 and Note 8 and 9/Google Pixel 3 and 3XL/LG G7 and V40/Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Mate 20/Razer Phone 2/HTC U12+ all sell for above $700 and that is just for this year. And I would wager that all those combined have sold more than 218 million units. But I'm guessing there.
Just playing devil's advocate
