I've been questioning if android is even profitable enough for manufacturers to justify it in the US, like apple has the largest market share in the US and I see that everyday. Nearly every phone I see is an iPhone. The android phones I do see are rarely flagships.
Same as any other phone. Apples had a tendency to turn off under 30%. Things are getting better but always going to be defective products. Not defending Google or any oem.
We the consumers should get better. But that doesn't change that plenty bloggers highly rate pixel phones.
I use a 6 pro. Had it's pros and cons like any other brand.
