> The iPhone is the best selling model in the United States.

To clarify: It has the best selling model, but it is not the most used mobile OS among US mobile phone users.

iOS's market share in the US is 61.25% according to [1].

StatCounter shows the number of folks who visit sites with StatCounter on it.

Fun fact: iOS users generally do more browsing, so this has a tendency to skew stats like StatCounter.

Similarly NetMarketShare shows Android at over 70%, since they are more business website heavy. This stat is just as flawed as StatCounter's is.

Pretty much any mobile industry stat. Most have Android at a bit over 50% in the US and Apple at a bit under. Worldwide, Apple is under 20% market share. Remember, iOS is just Apple whereas Android is Samsung + LG + HTC + Google + Oppo + OnePlus + etc...
