We are heading towards a future of Apple, Samsung, and Google, with even the latter two struggling to stay afloat.
And to be fair, Google deserves a lot of the blame for this happening.
How is Samsung struggling to stay afloat? Samsung has had the largest global market share for years.
And are under the impression that what's going on in the US is going on worldwide. Apple is doing fine worldwide, but isn't nearly as dominant as in the US.
Yeah if you forget your iphone cable here, you're going to have to go buy another one since you're probably the only person you know that has an iphone.
Looks like Samsung and Apple trade off on leader of global market share, but Samsung is second place when it isn't first.

Tell me you only live in an American bubble without telling me you live in an American bubble.
How much money do you think OEMs make off selling cheap Android phones?
Xiaomi making banks selling mid and low tier phones
Do you know any other manufacturers?
Google, sure. But Samsung has more marketshare than Apple.

I'd doubt Samsung will be struggling to stay afloat. They're so diversified they could pick one of their departments to throw money at and just run at a loss in perpetuity, if they felt like it. Apple makes phones, computers, and phone and computers accessories.
Samsung makes phones and computers. And appliances. And chips. And container ships.
And insurance, and healthcare, and construction, etc. They are involved in so many different industries it's almost hard to believe.
When one of the owner family's board members fell sick a few years ago they were monitored at a Samsung hospital in Korea if i'm not mistaken
And tanks, missiles, artillery, fighter jets...
It's incredible how much they are involved in
Yea, was just talking about their phone lines, not them as a company.
Huawei and Honor can both survive purely on domestic sales before you even worry about ROW.
No idea why you think there are only three brands, or why you think the US is the only market that matters (it's fairly obvious you are US based)
Absolutely nothing good came from them ending the Nexus program. I LOVED all the variety in Nexus. The Pixel phones are just shitty iPhone clones with barely better features.
I wouldn't even say better features. This will be my last Pixel. I'm tired of Google just not maintaining their products at all.
