There are only 7 iPhone models including the first iPhone. There are a limited amount of carriers around the world that sells iPhones yet iOS competes respectively around the world. Can you imagine if Apple let's iOS run on many other phones like Android does? Android won't even come close in this scenario.

well ,will be a different story if you compare. one brand VS apple. I think apple its not competing, because, if apple wants to compete, will offer the IOS to any brand. that will be a fair competition.

USA = Android(51.8%), Apple(40.6%)............... Europe = Android(71.9%)..............ASIA = Android(86%)............... Any question? I always said Apple dominated in U.S. BUT ONLY in U.S.. Dont tell me USA is the only country around the world. Plus, Samsung had better percentage increase than Apple. Just that other android companies are decreased which making overall android going lower.
