Apple 40%, samsung 25% , LG 10% in the US

Apple 25%, Samsung 34%, Huawei 17%, Xiaomi 10% in Europe

Sounds pretty fine for a market with healthy competition.

Really hard to call any of them a monopoly.

Google® has 94+% of mobile search in both US and EU!

Apple gets 11 billions/year to use Google as the default search engine

The remaining 61% (Samsung+Huawei+Xiaomi) is Android that means Google

Xiaomi defaults to Baidu in China, for example, but everywhere else, where the CPC has no direct control over the wires, they use Google because Google money is good even in China
