What? Apple's stance on user data privacy is a selling point in the market. They're not really hurting against other companies.

I hate iOS and love Android, the only thing keeping me buying iPhones is my support for Apple's user privacy compared to Google.

Apple can only do that because they rule their hardware platform with an iron fist.

They also position themselves as a premium product and do not / cannot compete with google in terms of price. While apple products (and iOS specially) are very popular in the US, here in Brazil you almost never see them.
