But they are a major player in smartphone market that they use to leverage themselves into this market. Similar to Microsoft (majority in OS) bundling browsers and media players.

They have less than 50% of market share, so no.

MS had almost 98% of desktop/work OS share (Linux was in its infancy then -- and is not used much for desktop even now--, and OS 8/9 had dropped to insignificant share).

They have the 2nd/3rd biggest share (and not like the first one has over 50% either). Sounds major to me.
